This spectacular Pinot boasts hints of strawberry and hibiscus on the nose with the right amount of sandalwood. Interlaced with bright fruit, it’s perfectly complemented by the subtle oak. Slight tannins show around mid-palate, making this one beautifully balanced wine, perfect for sipping or paired with roasted lamb and mushroom risotto. - Well it looks a bit different—but trust us—this vintage is as good or even better than the past five. Highway 12 Proprietary Red Blend shines from start to finish with a nose of dark cherry and bark then hits the front and mid-palate with enormity of blackberry preserves, yet remains austere through the finish by way of cedar-like oak notes and a touch of pencil shaving. Supported by some good tannins, this strong, brooding bottle will handle cellaring with ease. By all means, drink now, but cellaring will only allow you to open it for that special occasion the Highwayman warrants.

On the palate it shows excellent harmony with elegant acidity, well-integrated sweet tannins and enormous concentration of aromas.
