Vibrant aromas of wild berries, dried flowers and sage with touches of spice and woodsmoke. The palate fills the mouth with fleshy red fruits, cherry cola and earthy layers. Gentle tannins provide a structured yet soft frame to the fruit which is kept in line by a satisfying minerality. The wine finishes long with clarity and focus.

93 pts - Vinous: “Limpid ruby-red. Explosive aromas of fresh red berries, cherry liqueur, incense and candied lavender, along with a building suggestion of Asian spices. Vibrant, spice-laced raspberry and bitter cherry flavors become sweeter and deeper with aeration. In a fresh, nervy style for the vintage but in no way lacking for depth of flavor. Closes sappy, gently sweet and very long, with silky, slow-building tannins adding shape and final grip.”
91 pts - Wine Spectator: “Plump and polished, with expressive raspberry and pomegranate flavors accented by citrus zest and green tea hints.”
90 pts - Wine Enthusiast: “Destemmed whole berries were fermented in 35% new French oak. The wine is not too oaky, but firm with ripe tannins and tangy berry and pomegranate fruit. There are notes of dark chocolate and underlying minerality.”
90 pts - KensWineGuide.com: “This dark ruby colored Pinot Noir opens with a vanilla-cola and boysenberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, a little round and savory. The flavor profile is mild black raspberry and boysenberry blend with notes of nicely integrated oak and minerality. I also detected hints of plum and black pepper. The finish is dry and its flavors and acidity linger nicely. This Pinot would pair well with beef bourguignon.”
