2021 Pinot Noir, Three Cedars Vineyard, Laurelwood District
Elegant, charming, and dreamy. Wild raspberries, red rose petals, hibiscus tea, and rhubarb, are accented by marjoram, allspice, black walnut, cocoa dust, and crimson clover. Velvety texture with discreet tannins that linger in the background and carry the long and delicious finish.
