2017 Pinot Noir
93 Points
“A complex, expressive bouquet evokes ripe red berries, cherry preserves and mocha, and bright mineral and spice top notes lend vivacious character. Stains the palate with appealingly sweet black raspberry and cherry vanilla flavors supported by a spine of juicy acidity. Shows excellent definition and floral lift on the impressively long, supple, cherry-tinged finish, which is given shape by sneaky, well-knit tannins.”
About This Wine
Well-spiced dark bramble fruit jumps from the glass, leading to a palate of blackberries and savory, earthy notes. The satiny texture and delicate flavors linger on the finish, with the vineyard living up to its name with charm in spades.
