right out of the bottle, this wine is closed, but after a little while, notes of mushroom and balsam emerge. in the mouth, the wine features deep pomegranate and persimmon, those earthy red fruits so characteristic of a cool climate pinot noir. the structure is very good, with firm tannins and brisk acidity. give this youthful wine 2–3 years in the bottle.
