Tasting Panel95 pts

Borne from the Biodynamic, organic, and sustainable Annadel Gap Vineyard, this 18-month French-oak aged Pinot Noir is a power player. Beginning with deep earth tones, cigar box, and espresso, black cherry soon emerges in a flash of juicy ripeness. Sparked by high-toned acidity, dried roses are uplifted, and spiced with a hint of cinnamon.

Hold

Windy weather during blooming led to a small crop set, then warm dry conditions ripened everything evenly. Small berries and thick skins produced wines of concentration, structure, freshness and purity
