Dark ruby red in color with satisfying aromas of boysenberry, dark cherry and mulberry along with delicate hints of baking spices, dill, cola, nutmeg and vanilla.

‘LAS ALTURAS’ PINOT NOIR 2019

Deep garnet in color with an aromatic medley of black cherry, marionberry, ripe plum and a hint of anise.
