2016 Petite Incline Pinot Noir
Aromatically very expressive for its youth, showcasing a stemmy red fruit profile with a nice balance of spice to fruit. On the palate, tannins are light and silky with bright strawberry and raspberry flavors. It is bolstered by a bright acidity. Prime drinking over the next 5 to 7 years.
