...citrus peel, bergamot, rhubarb, strawberry preserves and crushed red and black cherries with notes of spiced blackberry, smoke, saline, cured meats and amaro. Light to medium-bodied, it offers layered intensity with a firm supporting frame and well-woven freshness on the very long finish.
Attractively expansive aromas here, offering ripe red to dark cherries with a gently stony edge. Fresh pastry and forest wood, too. The palate has a very succulent core of raspberries and red cherries, nicely enveloped by the tannins. Very plush, persistent finish.
...exudes power and depth. A backbone of tannin give the Cerise its distinctive shape along with a good kick of energy. Ample and large in feel, the Cerise is a big, bold Pinot. Dark fruit, menthol, licorice and grilled herb notes add to an impression of brooding, virile intensity.
