Vivid ruby-red. Vibrant red fruit and floral aromas are given depth by notes of cola and licorice, with a subtle mocha nuance in the background. Juicy and focused on the palate, offering sweet red fruit flavors that show very good energy as well as depth. Closes on a smoky note, with impressive thrust and suave, fine-grained tannins.

Enormously attractive, this has a rich, creamy texture and complex flavors. Notes of raspberries, cherries, Dr. Pepper and persimmons flood the palate, riding a wave of spice, smoky oak and a beautiful touch of mushroomy earthiness. This is a first class Pinot Noir, with food-friendly elegance.
