A fine Pinot Noir from a relatively new producer that features vibrant cherry, strawberry, rhubarb, fennel, mild damp earth, bright fall spice and clove, adding a subtle char note with airing. There’s solid delivery of the nose elements, with bright acidity, a silky feel and a long finish that is already well integrated. If you’re a fan of rhubarb in your Pinot, look no further.
