TASTING NOTE: Ruby black color. Aromas and flavors of chocolate cherries and graham crackers, berry pie, and praline with a satiny, tangy, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a smooth, interesting, medium-long creme brulee, delicate spice, and yams and beets finish with light oak. A finely balanced fruity, savory pinot noir. Exceptional. Score - 91 (tastings.com, Sept. 16, 2016) Price $ 23.95
