I get lots of tomato plant on the nose and palate. There's also a slight smokiness. I'd say on the savoury side for sure. The palate has slightly rustic tannins that still need time to become plush. This wine is nice, but not overwhelming me with joy.

A pleasant drinking, old-world style Pinot

Description: Light ruby in colour with a medium+ intense nose. This wine features pine, pomegranate, maraschino cherry, cranberry, Shitake mushroom and peat moss on the nose. Medium body and tannin with good acidity and a long length.
