This will be my new standard when someone is talking about masculine pinot noir. Underbrush, black tea, cinnamon, earth, crushed leaves, red cherries AND minerality. This wine is built to last.

Very light in color, nose and a bit shy on the palette. Yet, not feminine in the way Oregon Pinot's tend to be, shy.

Really surprising tannin. Definitely ripe, but structure reminiscent of Sangiovese.
