"...classic charm on the nose, with notes of cola, black cherries, spice, pepper, and toast…it has a ripe feel and a plush texture, with notes of turned soil on the finish.”
Alluring aromatics of bright red fruit - cherry, currant, and plum - mingle with notes of loamy earth and hints of eucalyptus and licorice. The plush entry and mouthfeel are balanced by lively acidity and a well-integrated oak structure. A mouthwatering mix of black cherry, cola, and vanilla satiates the palate, while a blend of spices appear near the finish, fusing with the delicious, complex flavors as they linger. It's tempting to drink this luscious Pinot now, so go ahead, but hold back a few bottles, as this beauty will develop further with additional bottle aging.
