If you’re into a big and richer style of Pinot, The Crusher 2017 Pinot Noir is a bright, vivid red color in the glass with layered aromas of black cherry, rhubarb, high-tone floral notes, and subtle spiced wood smoke. This wine is giving and plush on the palate with juicy cranberry fruit, rose petal, black tea, and melted chocolate flavors. The well-balanced wine has great purity of fruit, smooth tannins and nice acidity which leads to a flavorful and lengthy finish. The Crusher Pinot Noir was aged with 100% French oak (40% new) for 10 months giving a bigger oak presence that maintains excellent integration. – Merch Notes
