  Medium garnet and slight purple in colour, slightly opaque in the center, with a wide rainy, translucent rim.
  
  Fresh fruits and slight leathery on the nose with fresh strawberries, raisins, cherries, raspberries, leather, and wet earth. The pinot funk is not as prominent as other pinot noir's that I've had.
  
  Red fruit forward on the palate with fresh red fruit notes, similar to the nose - strawberries, raisins, raspberries, cherries. The tertiary notes come through on the mid palate with forest floor and wet earth, and finishes with a slight peppery and savoury note. Smooth and velvety with fine tannins, with all the notes all brought together by the fresh acidity, with a long, lovely finish.
  
  This is already very approachable and delicious, and I can't wait to see how this develops over the next few years.

  Needed a lot of time to really open up. Decanted for 15mins and then started consuming. Very closed down.
  
  After it opened up over 2hrs, really shined. Some salinity on palate and nose. Cherry, fine grained tannins (surprising amount. Could last a while.), nice bright acidity. Some earthy and savory notes as well but primarily saline and cherry.

  Juicy and smooth with cherry, a little bit sweet with earthy notes and oak.
