Medium Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, cedar, flowers, herbs and mineral spice. On the palate flavors of sweet cherry and strawberry with notes of tea, herbs and pepper spice. Full-bodied, fine savory tannins, long finish ending with fruit, herb and a savory earthy character. Nice!

Love this wine! Drank it 8/23/22 with a heavier homemade fettuccine with bolognese pasta and the acidity balanced it perfectly. Some dark fruits and pepper notes. Paid $45 for it at Sunstone Winery. Letting it breathe a little is good.

I’m not a big fan of the Pinot but this one I have fallen in love with. Subtle but yet powerful flavor with a smooth finish. I’ve had 2 bottles so far this week. I think I’m going to buy a case.

Pinot is not my thing but this one provides the right flavor punch.
