Sample. Very light garnet red. Layered nose with rose petals, wet rainforest, light brown sugar, red cherries, crayons, and a light burnt note. Smooth tannins (5/10) and medium bodied. Lighter red fruits, ripe strawberries, and wet river stones. Bright and crisp. Solid acidity and structure with medium finish. With a little more bottle age this will develop some more power. Drink till 2022.

Full disclosure, I’m not a Pinot guy. That said, this is the best Pinot I’ve ever had. It’s what I feel Pinot SHOULD be. Simply amazing.
