Estimate
...suggesting cherry fruit, now retreating in favor of earthier mushrooms, minerals & pine needles, framed in firm tannins. Strikes out new territory for cool-climate Pinot Noir, less ripe, lower in alcohol & more exciting.
Brooding aromas of raspberry and menthol are joined by a floral element as the wine opens in the glass. Silky, classically dry and savory, with a lovely light touch and an impression of almost salty minerality... long aftertaste...
