Tasting notes
Harvested September 30-October 4, the 2020 Pinot Noir Rita's Crown was matured in 51% new oak for 16 months. Medium ruby-purple in color, it has gregarious scents of wild berry preserves, mixed tea leaves, pepper and loads of floral perfume. The medium-bodied palate has a compact core of powerful fruit, grainy tannins and seamless acidity, and it finishes long and gently cedary.

A solid core of luscious fruit with blue fruits, graphite and lavender. So floral. Medium to full body. Very fine tannins that are polished and extremely long. Grows on the palate. So drinkable now.
