San Francisco Wine Panel Score 95+ Points
Ripe, fresh and forthcoming, with fine focus, the nose of this forthcoming Pinot Noir wine offers aromas of ripe boysenberry, Bing cherry galette, black raspberry, licorice root, cherry pit, dried red rose, baking spice, hazelnut and a trace of cardamom. It is bright and robust and just a bit gripping on the palate, with rich body and all of the generous fruit offered in the nose, followed by a long, chiseled finish. Delicious now, it is sure to be even better in another 12-24 months, and although it is tasty all by itself, it is already blessed with fine food-balance. 485 cases produced.
