Silky Russian River Pinot with haunting violet perfume and earthy depth.
Violet perfume lifts from the glass with dark cherry and warm clove spice. Silky entry reveals concentrated black fruit wrapped in loamy earth and exotic sassafras bark. Tannins stay refined yet present. Finish lingers with mineral dust and forest floor. Drinking beautifully now but has several years ahead.
