Aged 18 months in French oak barrels, 15% new. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. A different nose that emphasizes aromas of underbrush and spring lettuce mix over cherry fruit. The middleweight core of black cherry and boysenberry fruits is filled out with nuances of sauvage and herbs leading to pure Pinot pleasure. This is a wine of finesse with terrific balance and an unmistakable sense of terroir. The finish is both fruity and earthy in a Frenchie style and noticeably persistent. Score: 93.
