Tasting Notes
A lovely aromatic fusion of red plum, cherry, and violets mingle with hints of rustic earth. The silky persistent mouthfeel is complimented with balanced acidity. Ripe cherry, plum and black raspberry meld with undertones of brown spices, cedar, and a trace of orange zest near the finish. The harmonious flavors and an integrated structure create a Pinot that slowly seduces the palate with every sip.
