Vintage Notes
This gracefully luxurious and dark-fruited expression of Pinot Noir draws you in with aromas of blackberry, briar patch, soft leather and allspice. On the palate, notions of juicy blueberry and black raspberry are framed by velvety tannins, with hints of nutmeg and cracked pepper emerging on the long, complex finish.
