Amazingly complex and intense wine from the get-go.  Bright berries and a touch of savory notes jump out of the glass on impact.  This lush, medium to full-bodied Pinot Noir offers gorgeous well-balanced blue berry and black plum fruit with a touch of underbrush and minerality on the mid-palate.  Well-delineated from start to finish, this 4 barrel production ends with an astonishing crescendo of anise, spice and silky tannins.  Only 83 cases produced!
