  Barely translucent ruby color with cherry, strawberry, rosehips, subtle clove aromas. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied with lively, tart acidity and supple tannins with red cherry, raspberry, strawberry, and baking spice flavors accented with a kiss of dried herb savoriness.

  Berserker Day Newbie Preview: Eila Wines: Sourced from Le Cadeau vineyard (600-700’ elevation) in the Chehalem Mountains AVA from blocks planted with 777, 667, Pommard, 115 and Mariafeld clones. Filled with concentrated red fruits, strawberries, cherries, raspberries. Notes of kirsch, lilacs, and a touch of clove, cinnamon in the background. On the palate much the same, with bright and sappy red fruits, medium svelt tannins and tangy acids. For those that prefer their Pinots on the fruitier side with mellower tannins and acid. Fermented using 27% whole cluster. Aged with 25% new oak (Taransaud and Francois Freres barrels). 189 cases produced.
  
  ABV: bottle notes 12.7%, but Peter's website notes 12.6% (the more up to date number)
  Closure: natural cork
  Stem: Grassl Cru
  Decant: N/A; tasted over the course of ~6h
