Winemaker Steve Rogstad opted for a little more Pinot Noir in the blend than he had in the 2015 bottling, and the result is perhaps a little more red fruit in both aroma and flavor profiles. Bright raspberry and cherry notes entice on the nose, and the palate balances those elements against apple and mixed citrus, finishing long and bright. It’s an unexpected mix that delivers huge pleasure. Well done!
