Blind tasting: crimson color, juicy, ripe, strawberry fruit. Chalky tannin. Well balanced.

Well-integrated wine with hints of oak and candied nuts accompanying ripe red fruit. Excellent!

Interesting vineyard to visit but the single vinyard wines are excellent this pinto noir is floral on the nose very light almost Beaujolais in character but lovely flavors of current and lavender I loved it!
