Very intense, rich, plush and spicy, with tiers of melted black and red licorice, plum jam and flowers. The long, focused finish lingers. Drink now through 2021. 480 cases made. –JL
Reveals lovely density and mid-palate pliancy in its sweet red cherries, crushed flowers, tobacco and licorice... impresses for its understated classiness and overall sense of harmony. Sweet floral notes wrap around the fruit on the finish.
Pungent nose displays black raspberry, cocoa powder, fresh rose and incense. Juicy, intensely fruity on the palate, with expressive dark berry and spice flavors lifted by gentle acidity. I like this pinot's blend of richness and vivacity...
