  Let this breathe for at least 30 mins in your glass or decant. Some tart fruit upon opening but everything softens. There’s a hint of green on the palate, very yum, but predominantly red fruit forward.

  Nose is extremely sweet fruit with a bit of tartness. Bing cherry, strawberry, even raspberry. Tons of fruit help define the entire wine. After a long time in glass finally more notes come through. Bits of spice and a little oregano perhaps. Tannins are already melting away but I would save it for 2020 or 21. A lighter style of pinot, light in color and mouthfeel has astringency along with the pound you in the face cold climate fruit. How did they do this? Compelling if you like this style.
