This blend of four Pinot Noir clones opens with aromas of cherry, lime juice, strawberry and lavender, followed by flavors of pie cherry, cranberry and pomegranate. It is backed with minerally tannins and bright acidity, which gives it good length and should help it reach its peak in the next decade.
