A good, dry Pinot Noir, tart in acidity, and showing flavors of sour cherries, currants and beef jerky, sweetened with caramelized oak. It's a little rustic, but elegant. Drink now.

Supple and elegant, with complex flavors of red cherries, cola, anise and smoky vanilla, and a sprinkle of orange zest in the finish. The mouthfeel could be a little firmer, but it's a pleasing Pinot for early drinking.
