Pretty but concentrated aromas of rose petal, dark cherries, cocoa, anise and cardamom. Sweet cherry and plum entry with a zesty mid palate reminiscent of baking spices, leading into an elegant, lingering finish. The richness of this wine pairs well with meats such as lamb, duck, and stewed curries, as well as artisanal cheeses and wild mushrooms.

The 2016 Pinot Noir is more streamlined, with blackberry, earth, and spice notes in a medium-bodied, focused, enjoyable style. It's not terribly deep or profound, yet it has plenty of charm and is ideal for near-term drinking.
