This flashy Pinot Noir will please fans of lots of oak influence, which is not to say it’s a one note tune. Ripe cherry fruit is up to the task of balancing while keeping the spice out front. It will make fine grilling partner. A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
