Overripe dark cherry and violet. M+ acid, round tannins. A little Brett. Classic Pinot noir!

Lovely fragrance of strawberries with flavors of rainier cherries. Great acidity and smooth tannins.

Garnet, medium intensity, cranberry, strawberries dominate, medicinal, hints of Brett, and cherry. More dried cranberry on the palate, cherry sneaks back in and rivals the acidity that lingers throughout the finish. Quite youthful could easily rest this longer.
