...delivers a monster-sized bouquet of black raspberries, orange blossom, Asian spices, and graphite. With plenty of background oak, full-bodied richness, incredible purity of fruit, and a great, great finish...the texture, balance, and power paired with elegance is straight-up sensational.
Bright and explosive in the glass...possesses tremendous energy, nuance and breadth. Gravel, sage, mint, lavender and inky dark fruit all run through this super-expressive, sculpted Pinot. A wine of energy and delineation, the 2018 has it all. What a gorgeous wine it is.
...deep well of aromas: dried cranberries and cherries, smoked meats, dried earth, licorice, tea leaves and potpourri...what incredible layers! The medium-bodied palate is compelling, its soft, juicy, plush frame stuffed with kaleidoscopic flavors, and it finishes very long.
