Deep Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, floral notes and spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with floral, tea and cinnamon spice. Full-bodied, fine tannins, medium finish ending with fruit, spice and an earthy character. Drink now, no aging benefit.

Great wine, with more character than a lot of Pinots have. The fruit is very forward and rich, but still balanced with good earth and a nice amount of oak and a little tannin. Really drinks well with food; should be good for several more years.

Consumed 06/2020. Full of flavors of cherry, ripe plum and blueberry with notes of sandalwood and lovely soft tannins.
