Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2018 Pinot Noir Estate rolls effortlessly out of the glass with scents of ripe black cherries, black raspberries and red plums plus suggestions of chocolate box, menthol and damp soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with crunchy red fruit, framed by soft tannins and loads of freshness, finishing with an herbal lift.

Lots of ripe, loamy accents to the concentrated dark cherry and plum tart flavors. Dark chocolate lingers on the finish with peppery hints. Drink now. 3,100 cases made.

Thick black fruit is supported by generous overtones of oak and tannin in this estate wine, made with broad appeal and approachable in style. Rich accents of tea, cola and baking spice give it added nuance.
