Tasting Notes
Remarkably fragrant – a Pinot Noir classic, scented with ripe red and black cherry that spills out of the glass, infused with turned earth, spice and vanilla. On the palate it begins with sweet dried cherry and grows into a complex mélange of bright fruity and floral flavors with darker undertones of earth and smoke, presented in a seductively sleek and silky package. Smooth, lingering finish.
