not super plush

The 2021 is harmonious with a mixture of red plum

Offering up incipiently complex aromas of dark berries and cherries mingled with orange zest

driven by saline minerality and exotic spices

After a swirl or two the most gorgeous perfume of red roses

A wine of precision and power

Lacks the layered complexity of the single vineyard pinots but instead is a delightful expression of pinot

This is also why there is so much richness

The palate is well balanced with a keen line of acidity

liquorice and lilacs
