Almost delicate ruby color with nice, long legs and a wide brim. Plenty of fruit on the nose with cherries and cranberry. There’s also a touch of oak and cinnamon. Plenty of heat from the alcohol but the high acidity more than adequately compensated and balances everything out. The palate continues with fruit but adds some rusticness with oak, tons of spice, and chalky minerality. This is a highly interesting and appealing Pinot. One that really surprised me in the end. Let this one breathe and you shall be rewarded.
