2017 Bishop West Pinot Noir
In Stock
16 days fermentation, 25% new oak. Lively garnet in the glass with rich aromatics of strawberry, red cherry, violets, dark chocolate, anise, and sweet French oak.

Velvety tannins and fresh acidity are complemented by a supple mouthfeel which come together to highlight layers of flavor long after the last sip.
