Soft and pleasant on the nose and in the mouth, this simple expression of Pinot Noir is a pleasure to drink. Cherry, sandalwood, mild spice and tea notes are present in both aroma and flavor, with a medium long finish and a little tannic grip following a bright, juicy mid palate. A nicely balanced quaffer that’s great alone, or will pair well with mild wild game.
