Charming and gentle. Cranberry, maraschino cherry and strawberry purée. The palate glides — graceful and flowing — with fine, integrated tannins that frame the wine, ever so lightly. More berries and dried sticks follow. It’s the safe family Pinot — solid job, no surprises, just honest fruit and good manners. Good length too.
