Description
Tart red cherry, tangerine zest and rose petal aromas lead off the aromatic profile, followed by savory notes of dried bay leaves, graphite and fennel. Tart, zesty flavors of freshly picked raspberries, blood orange, pomegranate seed and cocktail bitters comingle beautifully on the palate. This is a polished, refined wine for those who truly appreciate the subtleties of great Pinot Noir. The texture is velvety, with mouth-coating, fine-grained tannins; the finish is long and tangy with vibrant acidity and zesty exotic spices.
