Some stem inclusion makes for an interesting expression in this bright glass of Pinot Noir, adding a pleasant green character that enhances the cherry and rhubarb and balsamic vibe. Bright acidity and a long finish that keeps the stemmy note present but soft make for a very food-friendly wine. A Platinum Award Winner at the 2018 Monterey International Wine Competition.
