91 points ~ Jeb Dunnuck
“This juicy, medium to full-bodied, powerful Pinot Noir has loads of black cherry and darker currant fruits, notes of smoked herbs, a touch of background oak, and a textured, layered mouthfeel.”

Tasting Notes
Classic Pinot aromatics of subtle dark berries mingle with hints of tea, autumn spices, and violet. The palate offers mouthwatering acidity around a focused core of restrained dark red fruit—black cherry, black raspberry, cranberry, rhubarb, plum, and pomegranate. Near the lingering finish, fine-grained oak joins traces of rose petal, cloves, and vanilla, adding depth and dimension to this lovely wine.
