Review:

Aromas of supple red fruit meld with notes of bacon, smoke, and white pepper on the nose. Flavors of cherry and plum unfold into notes of smoked meat, minerals, as well as white pepper. A bright, lively wine that’s well suited to have with food, it’s slightly earthy and sweet but good balance of fruit. Try a bottle if you like more robust Pinot over soft and fruity.
