VINEYARD pinot noir
2017 pinot noir
Delicate varietal and site-specific aromas fill the glass; white flowers, red cherries and plums, exotic spices and freshly plowed vineyard floor. With a sleek entry, intense black cherry and red plum flavors slip past the lips. These sweet fruits balance caressing tannins as the mid-palate unfurls. Veiled by this red wine’s impeccable balance is a barely noticeable acidity that sustains the wine’s agility. Free of distortion, the wine’s volume is brimming with clear and pure fruit flavors. From the mid-palate’s notable amplitude, the finish is a slow drifting descent of cherry fruit and pit.
