his bottling manages to be both lush and bright at once, starting with aromas of crisp cherry compote, fresh raspberry, mace and elegant French toast spices. A sprightly energy dances across the palate, where juicy dark red fruit flavors are lifted by lavender, carnation and rose petal elements.
The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate Cuvée was matured for 10 months in 53% new French oak. It's bursting with aromas of cranberry, black cherry, potpourri, bergamot, fennel and earth. The medium-bodied palate is fresh and silky with a concentrated core of fruit and an ethereal, spicy finish. 1,870 cases produced.
Looking at the three Pinot Noirs, the 2021 Pinot Noir Estate Cuvee is a larger production release (2256 cases) that brings terrific darker berry fruits, some spice, underbrush, black tea, and crushed stone nuances, medium body, ripe, building tannins, and a great finish. A serious wine, it benefits from air and will easily evolve for 5-7 years or more. It's a smoking value in impeccably made, high-quality Pinot Noir that will beat the pants off many a Premier Cru Burgundy.
