Rounded aromas of raspberry, dark rose-petal extract and even purple flowers make for a very complex and floral nose on this bottling from an iconic vineyard. The windswept region translates to a zippy acidity, where those rose and violet flavors float across brisk pomegranate and cracked-pepper flavors.

High-toned pinot noir with ripe strawberries and fresh flowers such as lilacs with some dust. Full-bodied and layered with velvety tannins and an orange peel and dried strawberry aftertaste. Grilled meat, too. More fruit-forward than some.
