Medium ruby colored with slow moving legs (14.1% ABV). The nose is classic New World Pinot- ripe red cherry, baked strawberry, spice box, vanilla, black raspberry twizzlers and a delightful floral note when I sniff the top of the glass…honeysuckle perhaps? The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity and medium tannins, more so than I was expecting but they are fine grained. A full body leads me to the ripe red fruit I got on the nose along with some oak spice. The finish is quite lengthy and a touch tart, which keeps it fresh and interesting. It’s a full throttle style that I am planning to pair with grilled Pork Tomahawk chops and a crisp salad. 91 points from me. Drink this $26 bottle till 2028. 5 stars, Salut….
