Thanks to a few years under cork, this Pinot Noir shows some savory notes developing even as the fruit remains quite fresh and expressive. Classic flavors of red and black cherries lead the way, followed by strawberry and cranberry tinges, with nicely rounded feel thanks to quite fine-grained tannins and fully resolved oak. Very well done, and a strong value to boot.
