Pinot Noir / 2023
This Pinot Noir brims with floral-laced fruit and aromatic lift. Vibrant notes of blueberry and thyme bring clarity and freshness, while layers of wild strawberry, forest floor, and cola spice unfold across a medium-bodied, velvety palate. A lively streak of acidity provides energy and drive, leading to a long, savory finish accented by hints of leather and subtle smoke.
