Medium Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, cedar, flowers, herbs and spice, aged for 11 months in 30% new French oak. On the palate flavors of sweet cherry and strawberry with toasty notes, tea, herbs and pepper spice. Full-bodied, fine savory grainy tannins, long finish ending with fruit, herb, oak and a savory earthy character. Nice!

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.
