Aged 19 months in 50% new French oak, the medium ruby colored 2017 Pinot Noir Kanzler Vineyard gives up cinnamon toast, pipe tobacco, pencil shavings, moss-covered bark and mushrooms with a core of blackberries, redcurrant and cranberries. Medium-bodied, it's earthy but countered by bright berry flavors, with a grainy frame and juicy acidity lifting the finish. This needs another year or two in bottle to come together but should result in a lovely, earth-driven expression. 850 cases produced.
