Score 93/100 · Drink 2021-2028, Josh Raynolds, Jan 2018

Full red. Deeply perfumed aromas of black raspberry and cherry cola are complemented by hints of candied lavender and star anise. Broad and fleshy on the palate, offering juicy dark berry and bitter cherry flavors and a suggestion of spicecake. Becomes sweeter and more energetic on an impressively long, supple finish that features supple tannins and an emphatic floral pastille quality.

This pinot noir shows such energy with cherries, blueberries and blackcurrants. Full body, silky tannins and a mineral and vibrant finish. What a beautiful wine. Drink or hold.
