Dark & brooding young pinot. Nice backbone structure. Raspberry, blackberry aromas. Brambly sage characteristics, slightly jammy at this young stage. Should evolve nicely over time. Shows the vineyard pedigree from start to finish.

Less hot than the lynmar despite the boldness and extraction Less pinot/red fruit characteristics than the lynmar. But its delicious, balanced, and it's a cab lover's pinot.
