Though the winery lists just 22% new oak in the cuvée, it is the new oak scents of toasted hazelnuts and burnt butter that dominate the entry of this young Pinot Noir. In the mouth there is sufficient fruit to compete with, if not quite match, the barrels. It's a pretty Pinot, with plum, berry and herb flavors; the tannins have some earthy flavors as well, and the barrel influence continues into the finish with coffee grounds and baking chocolate.
