Tasting notes
Bright ruby-red. Expansive, oak-spiced cherry, blueberry and fruitcake scents reveal suggestions of cola, vanilla and candied flowers. Plush and seamless in texture, offering intense red and blue fruit liqueur, rose pastille and exotic spice flavors that are energized by a core of juicy acidity. Plays power off delicacy with a sure hand and finishes extremely long and smooth, with well-knit tannins framing repeating blue fruit and spice notes.

The 2018 Pinot Noir Louise has a medium ruby color and alluring notions of potpourri, tar and cured meats on the nose with touches of aniseed and a core of red and black berry fruits. The medium-bodied palate is powerful, with a firm, fresh frame and intense, earth-laced fruits, and it finishes very long. It's incredibly appealing now but should age well in bottle.
