Dark, brilliant magenta. Assertive red berry liqueur, cherry cola, potpourri and incense aromas show outstanding clarity and mineral lift. Offers concentrated yet impressively energetic black raspberry, bitter cherry, spicecake and floral pastille flavors. A subtle blood orange flourish adds refreshing back-end cut. Gains weight and sweetness with air and finishes spicy, subtly tannic and extremely long, with resonating florality and a touch of smokiness. 50% whole clusters and 20% new oak.

Medium ruby in color and shy to begin, the 2017 Pinot Noir Mimi's Mind slowly opens to licorice, allspice and cinnamon with blackberry and marionberry pie, loamy earth, violets, bergamot and an earthy undercurrent. It’s medium-bodied with oodles of ripe, earth-laced fruits, a pleasantly chalky frame and woven freshness, finishing long and flavorful. I suspect this will get better with a bit more time in bottle.
