Color:
Beautiful dark maroon with slightly purplish hues. Very comparable to a well-extracted Oregon Pinot. A little light for a merlot, but very intriguing as well. When the light hits it just right, it is the color of the most sexy and sultry dark red lipstick.
Palette:
Young, fresh, and a little rambunctious in its liveliness. Very tart and acidic which will change with malolactic. It is showing promise, we just hope it stays true to its word.
Nose:
The best and most exciting characteristic of our wine at this point. Showing lots of fruit up front - bright and ripe cherry, strawberry, and plum. Hints of vanilla come in next and then about 3/4 through - something intriguing and beautiful. I can't put my finger on it but I am very excited.
