This deep colored Pinot opens with tones of blue fruit, sweet black plum and crushed gravel. The fruit lightens on the palate showing flavors of cherry, cranberry, and wild strawberry and are galvanized by a generous acid profile. These red fruits impact early but shift back to the earthen backbone of leather and dusty minerality found in the nose. Firm, dusty, and plentiful tannins provide overt texture on the finish. Given time to breathe however, the tannins will soften and align with the acid profile creating a softer tension and increased approachability. For those that appreciate or desire tacticity then drink now, but expect this wine to broaden over the next 5-10 years.
