High elevation, 1st site to be picked. 100-150 cases made. 80% whole cluster, red fruited - crushed strawberry, cranberry, dried rose petal, rainier cherry (tart and fresh), crushed earth and herbs, powerful mid palate, 12.7% abv, elevated acid, bright brick red in color. Reminds one of Nebbiolo.

Washed out Pinot Noir. Okay but not great. Some elegant cherry flavor remaining but not much going on. Likely a younger vintage would be better.
