      Tasting notes :

      Distinct notes of oak and menthol can be found on the moderately ripe and spicy red and dark pinot fruit that are cut with hints of exotic tea. There is good richness to the solidly dense and relatively powerful medium-bodied flavors that are shaped by firm tannins on the dusty and borderline rustic finish.
