What a surprise to find this Easter Egg on the list at Norda in Göteborg! Popped and poured, this was firing on all cylinders right from the first pour. Gorgeous notes of forest strawberries, Bing cherries, dried herbs, earth and Asian spices. The palate was positively ensconced with similar notes and the most beguiling texture. Tannins were medium and acid was medium+ with a long, lip smacking finish. Fabulous now but will surely drink very well for another 10 years. What a gorgeous wine.

Solid AVA level Pinot. Mostly red fruit orientated with a solid structure and a nice finish.

Mashed blackberries and raspberries on the nose with hints of sawdust. Subtle with the initial taste that ramps up in intensity with a distinctive transition into the finish that blends all the flavors into a beautifully mellow and soft mouth feel. Incredible wine.

Light purplish red. A bit early to this but still enjoyable. Tart red fruit. Mouth drying tannin. Some forest floor notes.
