    Winemaker Notes

    "Our deep-colored Pinot Noir opens up with aromas of strawberry, rhubarb pie, cranberry, and cherry. Rich and layered flavors of ripe red fruits are beautifully balanced with the fresh acidity. Velvety tannins deliver a lovely, full-bodied wine with a smooth, silky finish. A Pinot Noir with well-rounded red fruit, a soft entry, and smooth transitions through the sipping experience." -Eric Gallegos, Winemaker
