Lavinea Pinot Noir Lazy River Vineyard 2016

Shiny and ruby red with violet hues, deep in color yet crystalline. The first nose reveals approachable boasting aromas of sour cherry, earthy minerals on a finely tightened core. Pure and elegant, the nose opens up towards blueberry and black raspberries as you swirl with hints of earl grey tea and baking spices.

Rich and lush with a smooth entry on the palate that carries a lovely velvety texture of refined tannins wrapping finely around the sour cherry & iron fist minerality. Broader, yet with a long finish and a beautiful texture that provides a lasting impression. This highly complex wine with its silky open mouthfeel is a crowd pleaser.

Lovely aromatics introduce bright, fresh and forward raspberry and tart cherry fruit. It's supple and well proportioned, with lingering threads of coffee, iron and graphite adding texture and detail. This should continue to drink quite well over the next six to eight years.
