Vivid red. Ripe cherry and boysenberry aromas show excellent clarity and complementary suggestions of rose oil, vanilla, succulent herbs and a hint of smoked meat. Appealingly sweet, palate-coating red and blue fruit, floral pastille and spicecake flavors slowly tighten up on the back half.

Finishes with impressive length, sneaky tannins and resonating bitter cherry and spice notes. This outstanding Pinot benefits quite a bit from air at this stage.
