Cherry, cranberry, raspberry, dusty leather, oak and hints of currant. Great structure and moderate tannins.

Decent QPR for sure. A “table Pinot” to serve for friends who like a floral wine with no particular need for depth. Nice for picnics, hors d’oeuvres on a late summer day... definitely not for those who want a significant Pinot Noir experience.

Solid bottle of pinot noir. Beautiful nose of spicy red fruit with hints of tobacco. Palate gives layers of complex fruit that comes in waves on a finish that extends for days. This is a wine that makes me sad to drink because every sip means the quantity remaining has diminished.
