Tasting notes
Deep shimmering red. Powerful, mineral- and spice-accented red fruits and candied flowers on the expansive nose. Palate-staining raspberry, bitter cherry and spicecake flavors pick up a hint of vanilla and turn sweeter with aeration. Shows impressive clarity and spicy thrust on a very long, red-fruit-driven finish framed by fine-grained, harmonious tannins. (50% new French oak)

From own-rooted vines planted in 1990, the 2016 Pinot Noir Nysa Vineyard is pale to medium ruby-purple with an open nose of warm red and black cherries and cranberries with notes of dried red rose petals, peppercorn, sliced meats, potpourri and warm earth. Light to medium-bodied, it gives good concentration of cherries and berries flavors in the mouth with meaty/earthy touches and lots of pretty floral perfume, with a good frame of firm, grainy tannins and juicy acidity, finishing long. 100 cases produced.
