2021 Pinot Noir
The judicious blending of several different clones produced a wine with flavors of bright red fruit with elegant structure. Showing off aromas of raspberries and wet stone, this is an exceptional Pinot Noir. Silky tannins and balanced acidity support flavors of ripe cherry, fresh forest, and a trace of sweet earth persisting over a long finish.
