Aromas of blackberry, orange zest, and forest floor are complemented by flavors of black currant, plum, and hints of anise. On the palate, the wine offers fine grained tannins and a core of fresh acidity.
Medium ruby-purple in the glass, the 2017 Pinot Noir Sea Lift, aged nine months in 35% new French oak, is scented of blueberries, cinnamon toast, crushed red cherries and boysenberry with fragrant earth, potpourri and tobacco touches. The palate is medium-bodied, silky and perfumed with lightly chalky tannins and seamless freshness on the long, spicy finish. RP 93
