Tasting Notes

Abundant spice elements add to the considerable appeal of the overtly floral nose of red and blue pinot fruit. Like the Mitans the middle weight flavors are both classy and sophisticated thanks to the fine-grained tannins shaping the intensely mineral-inflected finish that is Zen-like in its harmony and balance. Note however that this too is very clearly constructed to age and is a wine that will need at least 5ish years and should be capable of rewarding 15+.
