Medium deep ruby color; pretty, spicy, earthy, black cherry and blueberry aromas; deep complex, spice, black cherry and blueberry flavors, earhy, forest floor notes, moderate tannin and oak; good structure and balance, long finish. This Pinot is just a bit tight right now, but with some time in bottle and in the glass, it will open up... all the components are there.
10 months in 29% new Burgundian oak; 71% previously-filled Burgundian barrels.
