Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Aromas of anise cherry cola, candied and black cherries, with hints of clove. On the palate, the cherry cola and baking spices continue, along with red cherry notes. Bright acidity in the mid-palate, and a very long finish.
Ratings
Moderately light garnet color in the glass. The nose starts off great after opening and builds in charity over time in the glass. Aromas of black cherry, rose, spice and cola are replicated in the mid weight flavors on the palate along with notes of plum and Marionberry. Gentle in the mouth, with seductive tannins and bright acidity in superb balance, finishing with enduring length and a subtle citrus note. This wine just kept getting better and better over time in the glass so decanting would be advised. This Pinot offers depth, dimension and freshness in a compelling package. Score: 94, Prince of Pinot, Reviewed May 7, 2017.

Winemaker Notes
The grapes were harvested by hand and destemmed 1.5-ton bins. After a 4-day cold soak, fermentation began. The vats were pumped over and punched down twice daily until dry, then pressed. The wine settled overnight, then racked to 25% new French oak barrels for 18 months to age until bottling.
