Fragrant on the nose, with notes of black cherry, cranberry, and wild strawberry, complicated by smoky bacon, wet leaves, bramble, and a whisper of pencil shavings — the kind of savoury lift that marks a serious cool-climate Pinot. The palate is medium-bodied and confident, delivering vibrant red fruit alongside fine-grained, seamlessly integrated tannins and a fine line of natural acidity. A gentle stalk influence adds structural intrigue, and the wine pushes through the full length of the palate to a long, resonant finish.
