Wine Description
Colour: Likely a translucent garnet typical of wellmade Oregon Pinot Noir from the mid2010s.
Aroma: Ripe red berries and cherries mingled with exotic spices, cola nuance, and a smoky mineral streak.
Palate: Energetic and sweetly fruited abundant red fruit liqueur, cherry cola and spicecake flavours deepen with air, revealing layers like licorice beneath.
Finish: Impressively long and focused on red fruit, supported by fine-grained tannins and a late minerally jolt.
Style: Bottled unfiltered, reflecting traditional handling that prioritizes complexity and texture.
Accolades
Vinous: 94 points
Food Pairing
Ideal with dishes that complement fruit and spice think roast duck or game, mushroom risotto, or hearty herbcrusted meats. The wines spicelayered complexity enhances both bold and nuanced flavours. A perfect match to enhance the wines depth and character.
