Note di degustazione
The 2020 McCrone Vineyard Pinot Noir is great. This leads with salted tomato, cherry and caper brine. This is mineral as hell, tight, expansive and spicy and gray in color spectrum; it's not all ribald cherry/berry fruit. There is drama here—floral and rocky with ferruginous tannins. I like it. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Forty percent is whole cluster in the ferment, matured in barrique (25% new). The McCrone Vineyard is clay and gravels and is about 600 meters from the winery. It holds moisture but ripens earlier than the Masters (another clay site).

Abel, Dijon and clone 5. Certified organic (BioGro). Same winemaking as the multi-vineyard blend. Pale garnet. Round and juicy with a little savoury note and much gentler tannins than the regular bottling. Sappy with pure fruit. (JR)
