"Intoxicating aromas of black cherry, fig and plum sauce pull you in. A brilliant, deep ruby hue conveys a concentration of flavors such as cassis, black currant, and muddled blackberry. Soft and round tannins envelope the mouth and leave you craving more." Notes from the Winemaker

Wine Profile
"The 2020 Pinot Noir Block M is beautifully expressive this vintage, with very pretty scents of blackberry, raspberry and pomegranate with wafts of tar, lavender, prosciutto, mushrooms and blood orange. The medium-bodied palate is intensely concentrated and boasts fine, chalky tannins, mouthwatering acidity and loads of detail emerging on the long finish." Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
