black cherries

Noticeable oak on the palate but with lovely freshness too

Nicolas Jay, Own Rooted Pinot Noir other_regions structured by wonderfully plush tanninsDeep magenta. Expansive red and blue fruit, floral and spice scents are underscored by emerging mineral and succulent herb flourishes. Firm and focused in the mouth, offering bitter cherry, boysenberry, candied rose and cola flavors that unfurl steadily through the midpalate. Shows good depth and energy as well, finishing very long and gently chewy, with fine grained tannins adding framework and final grip. 50% new oak. Josh Raynolds
