Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2016 Pinot Noir Sweetwater Vineyard features notes of red currants, red plums and Bing cherries with suggestions of cinnamon stick, dried herbs and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, the palate reveals a firm, chewy texture and racy line supporting the intense earthy/savory flavors, finishing long.

The 2016 Pinot Noir Sweetwater presents a decidedly dark, bariton-inflected expression of Pinot Noir. Succulent black cherry, plum lavender and clove add to an impression of darkness. Powerful tannins need time to soften, but otherwise, the Sweetwater is impeccably balanced throughout. Broad and ample, the Sweetwater packs a serious punch.
