2014 Rastaban Pinot Noir Magnum 1.5L

While the wine is lighter bodied, it fills out on the finish with acid and structure and a lingering note of earth, cranberry, and dried spices. A beautiful wine, with freshness, vibrancy and structure all in one mouthful.

Rastaban is the name of a star and that star is the eye of a constellation called Draco. This is one of the first and more reserve pinot noir labels Jimi Brooks produced. Jimi’s passion and interests of mythology and astrology often were shown through the creation of his first wines.
