A striking and beautifully layered Pinot Noir that opens with vivid aromatics of blood orange, black cherry, and a touch of sweet vanilla. On the palate, bright red fruit is interwoven with a subtle vermouth-like nuance that lends sophistication. There is a fine sense of grip and structure beneath the wine’s expressive fruit, giving it both energy and a satisfying tension. The finish is long, lifted, and memorable, leaving an impression that is as compelling as it is refined. Though it is obviously in its youth, it is already offering a lot of pleasure. It will no doubt improve over the next 5 years.
