  Floral and gracefully structured, offering lively flavors of cherry and strawberry laced with rose petal and dusky spice notes as this red builds tension toward refined tannins. 
• 91 Points Wine & Spirits
  Tarry and dark, this wine has an assertive burst of red-cherry flavor in the middle palate, framed by vanilla-y oak, the texture seductively plush and broad.

  Graceful and elegant, this Pinot Noir opens shyly, with wisps of smoked red cherries, dark roast Sumatran coffee and a touch of citrus. Tart Bing cherry and black tea flavors are complemented by a meaty note similar to a seared pork tenderloin. The wine’s texture is a smooth as its tannins are silky
