A more restrained style of pinot noir but one that still has abundant interest. Smoky, toasty oak lies alongside crisp juicy red plum and wild raspberry. Bright and focussed with a lovely cinnamon spice finish.

Wine Advocate
The 2016 Pinot Noir Nutcracker is a solid, medium-bodied effort from a challenging vintage. Itās defined by bright cherry fruit, but it adds complex floral, herb and spice notes like thyme and cinnamon. The tannins are ripe and supple, allowing the finish to linger in the form of ground spices. Drink 2018-2023
