A pleasant fruity Pinot Noir. A bit on the light burgundy village side, Côte de Beaune style yet less mineral and more fruity. Deep garnet color, the nose is full of cherries, red berries, spices, black pepper, it had a light medium body with nice acidity lots of red berries and. pleasant fruity finish. My score 84, drink to 2018

Tasted pretty damned good from a camelbak bladder at the bottom of the Grand Canyon.

Made with grape clones, #115, #667 & pommard 4, aged in French oak barrels for 16 months
fresh berries on the nose, falls flat on the palate, spicy

Love this fine, smooth, a little sweet and the best combination with dark chocolate.
