TASTING NOTES

This wine demonstrates a vibrant nose of black cherries and strawberries,. The palate is delicate and fine with an exotic array of red and black fruits intermixed. This Pinot Noir has elegance, power and finesse. The red fruit complexity from the Melba Block helps to balance out the earthiness from the Home Block fruit.
