The Story
A strikingly distinctive Pinot Noir, opening with an aromatic profile that leans as much into earth and spice as fruit—black truffle, dried herbs, incense, and a saline, almost maritime edge.
On the palate, the wine is precise and structured, with red cherry and pomegranate framed by pronounced spice and a mineral backbone. The tannins are firmer than typical for Pinot Noir, lending a subtle, almost Barolo-like grip that gives the wine both depth and tension.
As it unfolds, layers of rose petal, tea leaf, and crushed stone emerge, leading into a long, expansive finish marked by salinity, spice, and remarkable persistence. The overall impression is one of clarity and intensity—less about fruit-forward charm, more about structure, energy, and place.
