2017 The Hilt Old Guard Pinot Noir
Red and green with wild plum, raspberry, dried tobacco, green peppercorn and dried porcini mushrooms. Rosemary and thyme. Expansive and supple. Hibiscus tea. Round and generous. Tightens in a delicious way with vinous tannins that cover the palate and roll seamlessly into a long and lively finish. Savory, dusty and crunchy. Perfect mix of green herbs and exotic spice with deep, dark fruit. Refined and elegant wine with a wild side. A wine of depth, class and pleasure. - Matt Dees, Winemaker
