100% Pinot Noir. Medium ruby in color. Aromas of violets, peony, ripe strawberry, rhubarb, red currants, and subtle dried flowers. On the palate, it displays layers of orange blossom, deeper strawberry, black and red cherries, black currant, lingonberry compote, caramel, burnt sugar, toasty cinnamon, vanilla, warm toast, marzipan, dried herbs, and earthy forest floor notes. A touch of French oak adds subtle spice and texture, enhancing the wine’s depth and sophistication. This is a dry wine with medium acidity, medium-plus fine-grain tannins, and medium body. It has a lovely concentration of fruit with complex layering, elegant structure, and a lingering finish.
