Nose
Aroma: This Pinot has an intense black cherry and toasted nose. There are subtle accents of
spices in the background, but predominantly cherry fruit.
Palate
Silky and rich are the best descriptors for this Pinot. The flavors just explode with fruit -
everything from cherry fruit to dark berry fruits. You will catch the spice accents on the way
down the throat. The acid, fruit and oak balance is perfect to compliment just about any meal.
This whole flavor combination makes this wine ideal for any Pinot lover

the mild to cool side, with few days topping 100 degrees even in the warmest locations in the appellation.
There was a brief period of heat that spiked around Labor Day, the temperatures cooled and after several
days.
