Pretty textbook Pinot Noir here from nose to palate and onto the finish. Oak, cherry, white pepper, raspberry, cranberry cocktail – the fruit comes forward with time in glass. The palate gives a drying sensation to the tongue with a bitterness of tannins and high acidity ... then comes the light red fruit, oak and white pepper to rescue the tongue from over-encumbering dryness.
