Winemaker Notes
Dark red hue. Complex scents of ripe cherry pie, orange, sage, marmalade jam, and vanilla bean leap out of the glass. With aeration, notes of roasted strawberry, chokecherry, and ripe cranberry continue the excitement of this Pinot Noir blend. As the aromas continue to get more complex, the flavors become more focused once on the palate with red fruits and citrus elements. Fine tannins provide precise texture, while the modest acidity reinforces the fruit profiles. This wine ends with an intricate, vibrant, and persistent path. Enjoy now through 2030.

"Muddy clay and foggy fennel-frond aromas met with wild, dark and dry berries on the nose of this solid appellation blend. The palate begins on the ripe front, showing berry and cherry before the sagebrush and menthol character comes through."
