Exceptional
Brick red color. Aromas and flavors of cherry soda, cherry wood, pomegranate molasses, charred rosemary, and sassafras with a satiny, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a polished, amusing, medium-length tea and strawberry-rhubarb finish with a suggestion of oak. Delicious flavors combine in this aromatic and friendly Pinot Noir.

Good news, Pedersens – We are bottling our 2016 Pinot Noir today!

Excellent Pinot! Bolder than a traditional Willamette Pinot and not as sweet!
