Sophisticated Pinot with cola depth and herbal complexity.
Cherry cola richness opens with rose petals and pine forest notes. Tamarind tang cuts through the fruit, while fennel adds herbal intrigue. Medium-bodied with silky tannins. Earthy finish lingers with spice. Drinking beautifully now but structured enough for five more years.
