Offers the vivid, enticing fruit of the vintage, with mulberry and boysenberry pate de fruit notes streaming through, while iris, ink and mineral accents add a layered feel through the finish. Lingering and mouthwatering despite its tilt to the muscular side of the spectrum.

Aromas of dark cherries, violets, beets, lavender and plum skin. The palate is mid-weighted with a lovely texture but no heaviness at all, with fine-grained tannins and a lush, floral finish. This is a finely made pinot noir with plenty of aging potential. Drink or hold.
