2021 Boars View BDR Pinot Noir

Deep ruby-colored, the 2021 Pinot Noir BDR is generous with a perfume of brambly fruit, wild herbs, forest floor, and dark minerals. Medium to full-bodied without weight, it has good structure and present ripe tannins, fresh orange peel, ripe cherry, and a touch of smoky earth. Drink over the next 6-7 years. Founded in 2007, the Boars' View estate was planted by Ulises Valdez with the help of Thomas Rivers Brown, in the same geological bowl as Marcassin. The nine acres of the property planted to vines are mostly Pinot Noir, with a small amount of Chardonnay. The wine style is a significant departure from the supple and elegant wines of Rivers Marie in that they are modeled after the aesthetic of Schrader’s style of Cabernet. These are brawny wines with a more obvious stamp of oak influence and opulence and are reflective of their more mountainous, coastal terrain.
