Here’s a lighter, spicier style of Pinot Noir. Raspberry, strawberry, a little earthiness and subtle smoked paprika. It’s fresh, a cranberry, maybe even tamarind tang to it, a red cherry juiciness tempered with dried herb, light dusty tannin, and a sappy, spicy red fruited finish of fine length, some blood orange tartness in the aftertaste. I particularly like the baby’s grip of tannin on exit. Delicate, frisky even, and such a pleasing wine to drink. 94 Points Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
