Extremely inviting aromas, strawberry and plum on the palate. Very easy to drink, I LOVE IT. Every sip leaves you wanting more

One of my favorite Pinot Noirs. Consistently smooth with just the right amount of fruit and sweetness.

The very definition of smooth and supple! I'm having the 2012 right now but will try the 2014 as that's the only vintage I can seem to find.
