You’d do well to keep this pleasingly tart, highly refreshing Pinot up on your radar. It opens with a faint whiff of woodsmoke and then features bright red cherry fruit with backnotes of wild strawberry and baking spices. The tannins are very fine in grain, which is entirely in keeping with the light weight and restrained ripeness of the wine, and contributes to the fresh overall profile. A Double Gold Award winner at the 2019 Toast of the Coast International Wine Competition.
