Tasting Note
Concentrated, full-bodied Pinot Noir with cherries, dark/red berries, rose petal, violet and warm spices framed by toasty new oak; velvety texture, chalky tannins and a long, mineral, gently savory finish.

Production Method
Hand-harvested Pinot Noir from low-yield vines; traditional Burgundian vinification with fermentation in small tanks, extended élevage in 100% new French oak for c.18 months; minimal intervention in cellar.
