Pale to medium ruby-purple, the 2017 Pinot Noir Louise opens with spicy touches of dried leaves, bay leaf, black tea, tangerine and lemon peel and forest floor over cranberry sauce and warm blackberries—very layered! Medium-bodied and silky in texture, it gives up intense, bitters-laced fruits with a finely grained frame, juicy acidity and a long, spicy finish.
