Aromas of cranberry, tobacco, and baking spice enliven the bouquet of this wonderfully complex Pinot Noir. On the palate, wild-berry jam, plum, cinnamon, and notes of vanilla bean are highlighted by luscious acidity. The wine's rich body is accented by a long velvety finish.

Summer fruit, cranberries, spices and dried flowers on the nose. The palate is bright and fresh, with firmly framed tannins and a luscious mouthfeel shaped by an austere undertone that keeps everything in check. Nicely weighted and balanced. Drink or hold.
