This wine shows all of the dusty red fruits one expects from a vineyard on volcanic Jory soil in the heart of the Dundee Hills AVA. Plum, mineral, mushroom, Bing cherry, ripe raspberry and a lovely mix of floral notes: lilac, rose, lavender, all greet the nose in waves. Secondary notes of black pepper, clove spice and earth emerge over time. On the palate the wine is redolent with ripe cherries and the balance is impeccable. The energetic acid structure balances out the light tannins and a gorgeous sanguine note. Drinking broadly now due to its youth, this wine will become even more elegant over time, softening and becoming more silken in the next few short years of aging. Drink now through 2028 and beyond for some gorgeous bottle aged Pinot notes.
