Tasting Notes
Medium plus bodied with plus acidity and pronounced tannin. Although young, this wine already shows pretty refinement, with delineated flavors of dark cherry, eucalyptus, and violets, followed by more subtle leather, mineral, and clove notes.

Pinot Noir
100% Pee-NO NWAR
Pinot Noir is arguably the most revered grape variety in the world with origins in Burgundy, France where the best expressions can still be found. Pinot Noir is not only a tough grape to grow, it also shows miniscule differences in terroir arguably more than any other grape variety. Stylistically, it is generally higher in acid and lower in tannin but can vary depending on the location, and winemaking technique. It is very versatile with food, and shows a range of flavor from red and black fruit, floral, spice, earth, and mineral qualities.
