The 2018 Lucky Rock County Cuvee Pinot Noir begins with a very pleasing aroma of black cherry, cranberry and a little strawberry plus cola and touches of cinnamon, mint and other spice. The medium bodied wine tastes great with a smooth mouthfeel and lots of really well integrated and long lasting spice to go along with the red cherry, black cherry and other red berry fruits. A great earthy undertone comes out on the mid-palate and leads into the long, dry, lingering finish of tart cherry fruit.
