This is a re-release of this wine from the excellent 2018 vintage. This was the second release of this wine which comes from a special and defined part of the vineyard. It’s an immensely powerful no-holds-barred Pinot loaded with blue and black fruits and coated with a fine dusting of spices. The palate has the faintest hint of leathery development but it’s offset by the still primary fruit characters. Everything points to a great wine in the offing.
