The 2017 Riddle Vineyard Pinot Noir opens with a dark cherry, violet, and sandalwood aromas underlain with touches of citrus blossom and jasmine tea. On the palate, strawberry and cherry fruits open and then transition to hints of cranberry. The small bit of whole cluster inclusion lends structure and spice to the wine and contributes to the sous bois undertones throughout, similar to past vintages from this site.
