Wow, that color - salmon, almost copper and very vibrant! The nose is wonderfully complex, with notes of sweet summer strawberries, hints of white peaches, wet stone minerality, and a touch of garrigue. On the palate, this wine has serious concentration and length, and a weighty, oily texture, giving abundant orange zest, underbrush, and minerality. This isn’t a summertime rosé you pop by the river, but rather a very serious wine that should be savored and enjoyed slowly.

Nose of ripe and dried black cherries, tomato leaf, and bakes spices. On the palate, big big big red fruit, a bit of cherry cola, and wonderful warming spices. Nice long finish - really excellent “bigger” style of Pinot that can stand up to roast lamb, steak, etc

Absolutely gorgeous bouquet of red fruits, wet stone minerality, violets, and warming spices. One moment, the floral notes pop. After a few minutes, the minerality. What a beautifully complex nose!
On the palate, elegant red fruits, tart cherry, hints of cranberry, forest floor, and hints of vanilla and spice. Really fine-grained, ultra smooth tannins, and a finish that goes on for ages. Stunning!
