Great depth with a cool (climate) intensity.
Mixes the regional pinot strengths of raspberry, stewed plums and heady aromatics, namely violets, with dark chocolate, spice and woodsmoke.
Vanilla oak is there but nicely integrated.
And the best part? The wine is so taut in structure – rest assured it has a way to go
