Red fruits dominant on the nose with some nice minty/herb and rustic character. Acidity really stands out, round tannin and moderate finish. Simple.

Smoky earthy vegetal, quite smooth and thick. High alcohol or high glycerin? Sometimes can’t tell the difference. Tobacco notes and spices. Unobtrusive tannins that lead to a mild finish.

Well rounded, complex Pinot Noir. Nod to the old world. Candied cherry, strawberries, white pepper, black pepper, veg notes, allspice and eucalyptus. Nice minerality.

A warm style Pinot but not overly warm that you don't get hints of spice and strawberry. Holds well the next day.
