Pale ruby with a hint of purple, the 2012 Hillcrest Road Pinot Noir flaunts a lovely nose of fragrant lavender, red currants and pomegranate with highlights of wild thyme, violets and fertile earth. Light-bodied and very elegant in the mouth, it has a great frame of medium level chewy tannins and balanced acid. It finishes long and earthy. Drink it now to 2018+.
