VinousBrilliant magenta. Expansive red/blue fruit scents are complemented by suggestions of succulent flowers, cola and a hint of smoky minerality that builds with air. Juicy, appealingly sweet and lively on the palate, offering boysenberry, black raspberry and vanilla flavors that are supported by a spine of juicy acidity. The floral note comes back strong with air and carries through an impressively long finish that features well-integrated tannins and lingering spiciness.

Wine AdvocateThe nose of the 2016 Pinot Noir Margo is slow to unfurl, with time revealing black cherries and blackberries, orange peel, tea leaves and fragrant earth with hints of charcuterie, pepper and roses. Medium-bodied, it's silky and fresh in the mouth with a long, nuanced finish. 948 cases produced.
