Quite deep ruby for a Pinot noir tilting heavily to black fruit - cherry, Cassi and violet. It's delicious even if it isn't totally variety correct - there is a lot of oak spice here that tends to obscure the acidity and Elegance. Long finish, drinkable now.

Planted 2005. Good earth and fruit, but a bit pricey.

Delicious. Love the minerality in this wine. Beautiful and complex. I recommend decanting as she's still pretty young.
