2019 Cellars Pinot Noir Durant Vineyard Madrone Block

Bright red. Sharply focused aromas of red currant, cherry and blood orange, along with floral and spice nuances. Shows firm cut to the spice-laced red fruit and floral pastille flavors, which betray zero excess fat. A white pepper note adds spicy bite to the persistent finish, which is framed by discreet, even tannins. Give this nervy wine some time to unwind – ideally in the bottle, not in a glass. 50% whole clusters and 12% new French oak.
