What a charming Tuesday night Pinot. A rush of flavor, yet nuanced at the same time. Sandalwood, rose blossom, and cherry skin, leave a slight impression of sweetness.So silky, I could drink this all night, but am happy to have a few glasses left for tomorrow.

Aromatics were a bit muddy and undefined. Liked the whole cluster character on the palate. Mid weighted, and a nice wine. Wanted to like it more.
