Dark cherry, spiced plum, cranberry and toasty oak. Delightful now and over the next 4 years.

Bright, lite and well balanced with a surprising vanilla cardamom finish.

Holy crap, this wine is in a great place. It's been awhile since I've had a wine this intense on the palate. Such incredible flavor - fruit, minerals, acidity and a silky, lengthy finish. Incredible.

Great pinot. Lovely cherry and plum fruit with velvety tannins and a bit of earth lingering in the background.
