Ruby-garnet core, clear meniscus. Elevated nose of ripe strawberry, eucalyptus, with faint whiffs of orange oil and peppercorn. Palate of tart strawberry, mandarin, rosemary. Fresh and a little angular at this point. The crispo Pinot offers slightly better QPR.

Dark ruby. Inviting and warm aromas of complex strawberry and cherry topped in white pepper, clove, leather, rose potpourri, clay soil. The palate is framed with smooth tannins and fresh acidity on a medium-bodied frame. Crisp but juicy with black cherries and strawberries, and the fruit is backed up with complex notes of rose petals, white pepper, rhubarb, dusty earth and clay. There’s an intriguing spice and savory mix on the finish, like cured meats and paprika, which I just love. Vibrant, earthy, minerals, a lot going on here. Aged for 16 months in 34% new French oak.
