Bright and deep ruby in color with a bluish edge, the first nose opens with lovely aromas of raspberry, fragrant rosemary, hints of lavender and baking spice such as cardamon and mace, and opens up boasting with red fruit: bright cherries, strawberries, red raspberries. Smooth and lush yet restrained, the lovely palate travels with a smooth beginning, vibrant core of fresh cherries and lavender, and closing on an elegant finish sustained by velvety tannins. The quintessential definition of a beautiful pinot noir, complete, youthful and vibrant, and showing promises of getting better through time.
