Red Wine: 2017 | Tolosa Winery | ‘Primera’ Pinot Noir

Pale to medium ruby-purple in the glass, the 2017 Pinot Noir Primera has a lovely nose of cinnamon stick and potpourri with perfumed earth, ripe black cherries and berries, orange peel and amaro—very expressive! Light to medium-bodied with great layers of fruits and spices in the mouth, it’s well balanced and pure with wonderful juicy acidity and a frame of fine, grainy tannins, finishing long and layered.

Reviews:

• Matt Kettmann: Aromas of dark cherry, smoke and clove lead into a palate in which bright alpine strawberry, orange-peel and star anise flavors rise above the prominent oak.
