Vibrant and youthful, this bursts with bright raspberry and cherry flavors accented by fresh violet and spicy mocha notes that glide on a zesty finish.
 
Winemaker Notes
This may be the most generous vintage yet for Marsh Estate Vineyard. Fruit aromatics leap out front with a whirlwind of lush raspberry, strawberry jam, red plum, black cherry to marionberry. With time in the glass, a 'whirl' of cinnamon with a touch of black pepper further complex the senses. On the palate, a rich mouthfeel kicks in at the beginning and follows through to a very delicious finish. Black cherry fruit is super dense and long. Velvety molasses, rubbed sage, and black peppercorn prove that this wine hails from the Yamhill-Carlton AVA.
