Ruby with perfumed aromas of red fruits and floral herb spice. On the palate flavors of raspberry, cherry and spice with floral notes of dried rose pedals. Fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit and sweet floral notes.

This one is growing on me as it opens up in the glass. Very earthy, coniferous forest floor. Only very slightly darker than the 2021 burgundy Pinot we compared it to. Alcohol feels a little hot towards the end. Again, it needed a bit longer to open up in the glass for me. First sip felt like it needs air. I’m getting some minerality that reminds me of crustacean shells after they’ve been cooked. That subtlety that I find very desirable especially in reds. The tannin is really just on the tongue and somewhat towards the front of the mouth and on the lips but it doesn’t linger as long or in as many places as I want. Acidity doesn’t quite pop compared to the Burgundy Pinot Noir we tasted side-by-side. If the non-flavor elements of this wine were at the same quality as the flavor profile, I would fucking love this wine. 85-88 depending on your preference. We tasted this after the burgundy red, so let’s call it wine 2.
