Tasting notes
The 2021 Pinot Noir Stermer Vineyard is also a youthful medium ruby hue and lifts with notes of preserved strawberries, rosemary, orange peel, and nutmeg. Ripe and juicy on the palate, it tuns savory and lightly gamey on the mid-palate and falls off a bit short, with ripe tannins and a modest level of acidity. I would prefer to drink this over the near term, although it’s charming now.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Stermer Vineyard is dusty and floral, with an understated bouquet that blends rose petals and spiced citrus with crushed blackberries. Savory yet energetic, it sweeps across the palate with soft textures and ripe red and blue fruits, all guided by brisk acidity. The 2021 finishes spicy and with medium length, leaving a coating of edgy tannins to slowly fade.
