14.5% alc., pH 3.59, 400 cases, $50. Release February 2016. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. This is an elegant and polished wine that exudes pinotosity. The nose leads with aromas of black raspberry jam and graham. The mid weight core 11 of dark red cherry and berry fruits is in harmony with the tannins and acidity. Very inviting, with good energy.
