Deep ruby-purple in color, the 2013 Pinot Noir Cellar Reserve is 100% aged in new oak with 22% of the blend whole bunch fermented. It opens to a classic cranberry and red currant nose, with red cherries plus some stemmy / Provence herb characters that add a slight floral lift. Very tight and youthful, it is framed by medium levels of grainy tannins and a nice astringency to carry it through the long and earthy finish. It needs time to evolve.
