2015 Dry River Pinot Noir Magnum 1.5L

Tasting: Deep and intense ruby-red in color with youthful black and purple undertones, appearing lighter at the rim. The nose unfolds softly, yet voluminously, presenting a harmonious blend of aromas. Dark-red berry fruits are intertwined with subtle plum nuances, while savory dark herbs and fragrant whole cluster stalks add intricate layers. With aeration, notes of dark violet florals and hints of minerals emerge. Medium-bodied, the palate bursts with sweet and lusciously vibrant flavors of dark-red and black berried fruits, complemented by hints of plums and dark herbs. Bright, crisp acidity adds liveliness, unveiling nuances of raspberry liqueur and violet florals. Fine-grained, flowery tannins contribute to a refreshing, firm structure, imbuing the wine with depth, energy, and tension. The finish is very fine-textured and dry, echoing dark berry and herb notes. This Pinot Noir is rich and expressive, showcasing vibrant dark red berry flavors alongside complex herb and whole cluster nuances, all underscored by violet florals on a lively, firmly structured palate.
