for now, very restrained oak dominates the nose. wafts of soft smokiness create the impression of a cloud within which red fruit slumbers. this is youthful and comes with a smoky backbone of a structure—a beautiful faultline of fresh acidity. to appropriate a well-used metaphor, this is like a firm handshake from a hand gloved in vermilion velvet. with some time, tender notes of morello cherry tantalizingly appear. this should come with an addiction warning for lovers of elegant pinots. drink 2017–2025.
