A lovely bright red hue. Very charming and alluring. Oh, so pretty! There is a purity here, an ethereal beauty. Delicate florals and bright red berry on the nose but there is also intriguing and complex non fruit stuff, like a rose essence and a certain spice and fresh earth mineral like quality. Nothing out of place or forced, feels very natural and harmonious. The impression on the palate is one of power, purity and precision. Great concentration and focus; everything in its right place. Lots to taste but this wine is more about how it feels. This wine is pure energy. Enjoy upon release or cellar for 10 years plus.

DESCRIPTIONS
xHillside frost-free site planted over limestone and clay. The oldest Pinot Noir block was planted in 1986 and is still on its own roots. Distinct from the Eclipse vineyard because of vastly different geology with the clays that deliver rich, velvety texture. This is perhaps a more approachable wine than Eclipse, but still with elegance and underlying power.
