“Light baking spices blend with red cherry and a touch of sour cherry in this medium-bodied, deftly balanced wine. An elegant texture and subtleties in flavor seem to improve it with each sip.”
“The 2018 Pinot Noir Afleet is one of the wines in this range that has a bit more whole clusters than some of the others. Dried flowers, mint, crushed berries, sage and orange peel give the 2018 lovely aromatic complexity.”
Winemaker Notes:
“Wonderful breadth, depth, and personality in spades. Afleet incorporates three distinct blocks and whole cluster fermentation to craft a wine with lifted oral notes and pleasantly rustic tannins. Orange blossom and jasmine meld with honeydew, passionfruit candied apple aromas. A juicy mid-palate with subtle earth and black pepper is the result of the stem inclusion during fermentation. The wine finishes smooth and silky with lovely acidity.”
Alcohol: 13.8%
