Tasting Notes
This 2019 Pinot Noir from Carneros strikes a pale ruby in the glass with aromas of raspberry, blackberry, and an ever so slight hint of rose petal. This wine is delicate yet bold with a fruit-forward dominance on the palate followed by damp earth, tart cherry, and expressive white pepper notes. The cool climate helped to preserve the acidity leading to a crisp and balanced finish.
