Cuvaison, Los Carneros, Napa Valley (California) Pinot Noir 2019

 Here’s a full bodied, rich, oaky, dark side expression of Pinot Noir that won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but for those who prefer boldness it will surely be appreciated.  There’s a little heat showing, but it doesn’t interfere with deep black cherry, damp earth minerality and brown spice aromas and flavors.  A pleasant bitters note surfaces in the finish and adds depth to the fruit.  If you like to go big, go here.
