Review:
Aromas of bing cherry, plum, white pepper, earth, eucalyptus leaves, and a hint of rubber can be discovered on the nose. Flavors of cherry and plum interact with suggestions of minerals, a bit of white pepper, a hint of truffles, and some woodsy notes. Not as lively as many Pinots from the region, it caters more to fans of softer dark fruit.
Rating: 86
Character: red fruit, balanced tannins, supple mouthfeel
