A rich black-currant-jelly aroma is counter- pointed by notes of tangy cranberry, dried rose petals, and the most salinity this side of the Salton Sea. Blaz- ing acidity then illuminates the wine’s dark raspberry, rose hip tea and pine-needle flavors. While the finish is a bit short, this is one refreshing sip of Pinot Noir.
Winemaker Note
This wine is an elegant expression of Dundee Hills terroir, crafted from select lots drawn from both the higher and lower elevations of our estate vineyard. Aromas of Tahitian vanilla and warm baking spice lift notes of juicy red berries and cassis. The mid-palate is plush and finely textured, with soft, integrated tannins and graceful structure, leading to a seamless finish of Luxardo cherry, pomegranate, and fresh cedar.
