The final blend is a wonderful rum that I hope will be become a cornerstone of my legacy….

This Pinot Noir has elegance and finesse, but still with the rich fruit backbone. The ripe vintage fruit is obvious on the bouquet and the palate along with that complexity and funkiness that comes from new French oak that ties the fruit, the funkiness, and the fine tannins nicely together.
