The 2021 Pinot Noir Weber Vineyard comes from vines planted in the 1970s and is highly expressive this year, pairing concentration and detail. It has a medium ruby color and alluring, feral aromas: wafts of iron, tar and game meats complement a deep core of briary fruit, and it takes its time in the glass to unfold to higher-toned notes of potpourri. Light-bodied, it's nuanced and detailed, opening to bursts of blood orange and bitters flavors as it moves through the mouth. It has abundant, powdery tannins, mouthwatering acidity and a flourish of spice across the finish. The Weber is already impressive, but it will offer even more after 5-8 years in bottle.
The 2021 Pinot Noir Weber Vineyard blossoms in the glass with crushed raspberries, sage, rose petals and dusty earth, forming a pleasurably earthy bouquet. This is round and supple yet with nervous energy, casting a savory display of red berries and wild herbs as pretty inner florals form toward the close. This finishes lifted and fresh with a resonance of licorice, leaving a primary concentration staining and slowly fading gently grippy tannins. This pure translation of Pommard clone Pinot Noir from Weber is a total pleasure to taste.
