Vineyard Notes
Our Estate Grown Pinot Noirs' shows red-berry
aromatics, including raspberry and strawberry
and perhaps a hint of ginger, clove and vanilla.
The flavors follow with a purity of raspberry and
overtones of strawberry and cherry. The texture
is typically rich and with an elegant finish that
resonates with berry and spice. The bright fruit
and toasty sweet oak are balanced by soft
tannins.
Winemaker Notes
I find the aromas in this wine very intriguing, with notes of strawberry, red cherry, dried flowers, cinnamon and cola. On the palate this wine has a nice vibrancy, balancing a full ripe texture with a gentle acidity. The flavors are consistent with the aromas, as I find nice tones of strawberry, red cherry and spice on the palate. In its youth the fruit comes across as fresh. As this wine ages, the fruit will mature gracefully as the already soft tannins melt further. Drink Now through 2020.
