Dominated by crushed red fruit and good acidity. Was definitely macerated for a good while before being bled off the skins. There was an underlying limestony aspect on the finish. Would love to see where this would be in 5-7 years.

Almost too rich for pinot though it has great acidity so it's not too weighty.

Heavy dill upon first pour. Most of it blew off into a nice strawberry dominant drink. Tasty but not my favorite.
