This has such ripe red-cherry pinot fruit aromas, as well as forest wood and a swathe of deep-set spices. The palate carries such plush red and dark-cherry flavors in a long, fresh and energetic mode. Commanding pinot with such impressive poise. Drink or hold.

Medium ruby, the 2018 Pinot Noir Mineral Springs Ranch has pure scents of blueberries, cranberries, licorice, cured meats and burnt orange peel. The medium-bodied palate is powerful, silky and refreshing, with a flourish of dark spices across the long finish.
