This deep, earthy Pinot was aged in 75% new french oak. On the nose it presented clean red fruit, cranberries and tart wild cherries. Deeper, sweeter red fruits appeared on the attack, with significant depth on the mid-palate, earthy, offering marjoram and a strong sense of terroir. Serve this with richly sauced poultry or lean meat.
