Dark cherry fruit, earth, moss and subtle dried rose petal on the nose. On the palate, medium bodied and a bit chewy for pinot, with darker pinot fruit. Medium bodied for pinot with good balance. There is a tactile chewiness (for pinot) but with an acidic lift that keeps it in balance, all with some spice and cool herbal basil aromatics on the back end. Not complicated or nuanced, but a very enjoyable, varietally correct wine with good balance and length. A terrific value at $20 US retail. I would happily drink this BTG with bistro fare. A very pleasant surprise.
