Sour cherries with a smooth finish... There’s some earthiness to it too... A great Pinot!

Quintessential Cellar Angels feature from famed PN producer James MacPhail. James has one hundred 90+ point wines since 2004 and this is an example why. Brilliant raspberry and cherry off Sun Dawg Ridge, great acidity with just impeccable balance. I would easily pit this against several others at 2x the price.

Very dark ruby color. Big, fleshy style with cherry, raspberry, cloves, and cigar box. A bit heavy on the oak for my taste.
