The 2017 Pinot Noir Raschen is pale to medium ruby and opens with touches of tar and scorched earth, fleshing out to sliced blueberries, violet, river rock, moss-covered bark, damp earth and a eucalyptus hint with a black fruit core. The palate is light to medium-bodied, with dark, earthy fruits that fan out in the mouth to savory nuances, a sturdy frame of grainy tannins and juicy acidity, finishing long on a perfumed note. RP
