Opulent and elegant, this wine is an instant crowd-pleaser. The fruit is rich and concentrated in both the nose and the palate with macerated blackberry, cassis, blueberry, cherry and strawberry leading the senses balanced with warm baking spices, smoky charcuterie and a subtle earthiness. This luscious expression of Pinot Noir gains its rich structure from whole cluster fermentation, a stylistic choice during the winemaking process that affords this wine a fresh and velvety body.
