Pomegranate and mineral on the nose. Grapefruit upfront. Slight pepper on the mid palate with some sugary retro nasal. Slowly drying tannins on the finish.

There is an aftertaste to this wine that I don't love. Maybe it's cherry. I do this it tastes better with food.

Tried this in Culpepper, VA on 5/7/16 at Thyme Alley and liked very much. Complex and rich taste. Makes me rethink Pinot Noir.
