A seductive nose of violets, raspberry, and cranberry, with gentle underpinnings of vanilla. The palate showcases a robust and structured acidity, with notes of raspberry, cherry, and a slight touch of earthiness. The heat of the vintage is evident on the palate as well, noticeable on the bold round tannins on the finish, suggesting a county Pinot ideal for aging. Would pair well with lighter but slightly gamier meat such as rabbit or duck confit. Also, an excellent pairing with a hamburgers!
