Note di degustazione
The 2021 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard has savory aromas of oolong tea leaves and underbrush that complement briar fruit. The medium-bodied palate is chalky and refreshing with powerful, earthy fruit and a singular, black tea-laced finish. It will benefit from a couple of years in bottle or some time in a decanter.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard is a powerful, heady wine. Today, the 2021 is a bit closed, which I think may be attributable to the 35% whole clusters. Red cherry fruit, blood orange, mint, star anise and cinnamon lend an exotic flair. This deceptively medium-bodied Pinot packs quite the punch. Give it time.
The 2021 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard is much more masculine and mineral-driven, which unquestionably comes from the site. Crushed stone, marine-like nuances, red and blackberries, spring flowers, and iron all emerge on the nose, and it's medium-bodied, with a concentrated, focused, structured style and terrific length on the finish. Give it a year or so and enjoy through 2031.
250 cases made. Due for release September 2023. Smells of raspberries and redcurrants with a hint of resinous struck match. Faintly grippy tannins around a delicate core of raspberry, redcurrant and sour-cherry flavours. Excellent acidity, and a touch of orange peel carry through a long finish. (AY)
