This is a crowd pleaser of a Pinot Noir, and as its twelve clones might lead you to believe, there are aspects for everyone to latch on to. Generous red fruit, dry and damp earth minerality, fall spice and moderate oak toast will have you coming back for more – until there isn’t any more. A great all-purpose style at a reasonable price.
