Note di degustazione
Made with about 12% whole clusters, the 2019 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard is ultra perfumed, with scents of graphite-laced black cherries, orange peel, woodsmoke and bergamot. The medium-bodied palate is gently chalky and very fresh, with energetic, earth-laced fruits and a long, uplifted finish.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Estate Bien Nacido Vineyard is a raw, wild wine that captures the personality of this cold year in its brawny nature. Sweet dark cherry, herbs, mint, anise, game and incense all open in the glass. The 2019 is a bit rustic, but certainly has a ton of character.
Moving to the reds, the 2019 Pinot Noir reveals a deeper ruby, almost opaque hue as well as a killer bouquet of mulled red and black currants, briny herbs, pepper, and wildflowers. It picks up more salinity and crushed stone-like minerality with time in the glass and is medium to full-bodied and flawlessly balanced, with no hard edges and a great, great finish. This pure, ethereal beauty is a “Wow” Pinot Noir as well as one of my favorites in the vintage.
