Tasting Notes

This medium-bodied Pinot Noir presents a brilliant garnet hue. The nose is vibrant and perfumed with aromas of wild strawberries, red cherry, and raspberry, layered with hints of rose petal, forest floor, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is supple and silky, offering fresh red fruit flavours with touches of clove, earth, and toasted oak. Elegant tannins and refreshing acidity give the wine a lithe structure and a lingering, graceful finish.
