2015 vintage. Very elegant with a strong tea and red fruit profile: dried tart cherry, cranberry, red apple skin, black and green teas, crabapple, pomegranate, violets, rose petals, light vanilla, walnut skins. Very pretty with a long finish.

Love Pinots from this area. Just a bit rustic, with great acidity and fruit. Herbs, flowers, raspberry, strawberry, and just a hint of oak spice underneath.

Light body, silky smooth tannins, present alcohol, and mouth watering acidity. Balanced and complex. Red and black fruit, earth, tobacco, and vanilla. Long finish. Opened up really nicely.
