Full-throttle black cherry aromas are the calling card in this rich, refined Pinot Noir, where the palate backs up the nose and adds cinnamon spice, cedar and sweet oak coming forward in the finish. I love the textural construction here, with a creamy feel followed by a bright mouthwatering finish. Another stellar wine from Dan Goldfield.
