Plushy and earthy and silky and all things raspberry good. Bigger body for Pinot in a delightful way. Because after all, ladies, bigger is so often better, right?

Dark, earthy, and tobacco-y, especially for a Pinot. If I was blind taste testing, I would guess Grenache. Still very tight, but has good potential!

A little too dark fruit and big for my Pinot palate. But would bet its a crowd pleaser.

Paired perfectly with seared Salmon topped with cherry compote. Drinking really well right now.

Nose: raspberry, milk chocolate and coffee with a hint of something..rubber?
Palate: ripe raspberries finishing with some vanilla

Nice easy to drink Pinot.
