The wine gleams bright with deeply saturated, yet translucent, ruby color. A sniff finds enticing red fruit aromas woven into a vast tapestry of earthy, spicy, woodsy complexity. A sip brings texture, not heavy, but dense, rich and supple, laden with flavors of Santa Rosa plum, earth, spice and that savory, bright and sensual long finish that clearly speaks of wellcrafted and harmonious Pinot Noir. This wine will be a joy to sit in with as it unfolds over the years.
