“Vivid ruby-red. A highly fragrant bouquet evokes fresh dark berries, potpourri and vanilla, and a smoky mineral nuance builds in the glass. Sappy and penetrating in the mouth, offering appealingly sweet boysenberry, black raspberry and rose pastille flavors accented by five-spice powder and mocha flourishes. A rich but surprisingly graceful Pinot Noir that shows excellent finishing power, resonating florality and well-knit tannins.”
