Note di degustazione
The 2018 Pinot Noir Cuvée Agustina Katherine Lindsay Estate is a selection of three blocks, normally composed of Calera and Swan clone fruit, but Paul Hobbs says, "This year, we included a bit of 115 clone instead of just using the heritage clones." The Augustina is an incredibly stunning wine, with a fabulous perfume of violets, lilac and dried herbs accenting a deep core of cherry pie plus notes of cured meats and Earl Grey tea. In the mouth, it offers explosive, concentrated, layered flavors in a satiny frame with lively freshness and a very, very long finish. This will benefit from another three to five years, or more, in bottle.

The 2018 Pinot Noir Cuvée Agustina Katherine Lindsay Estate is a complex, multi-dimensional wine that develops nicely in the glass. The interplay of aromatics, flavors and textures is utterly beguiling. As good as the 2018 is today, my sense is that it will be even better in another few years' time.
