Release Notes:
This classic Bourgogne Pinot Noir is fermented in open vats with temperature control and then matured in stainless steel to develop and maintain its fresh, fruit character.
Tasting Notes:
An attractive cherry colored wine with a big nose of jammy red fruits (strawberries and cherries) and licorice. The bountiful red fruit flavors of strawberries and baked fruit continue on the palate where they are melded with floral, spice and earth flavors.
