as the top tier wine from this producer, this pinot sees 10 months in new french oak which gives an inital char to the nose. with time in the glass this opens with notes of coffee-dusted red and black cherries. the medium-bodied palate is round and creamy in feel, with fuzzy, crushed-velvet tannins giving texture to the ripe cherry and racy currant flavors. a dusting of cocoa closes the finish.
