This is the second Pinot Noir I’ve tasted from this vineyard in as many weeks, and I’m as impressed by it as I was by the previous example. Rich, black cherry-tinged fruit is joined by notes of damp earth and cinnamon spice, with bright acidity, moderate toasted oak and grip that keeps the finish popping and inviting another taste. Score another victory for the Duckhorn portfolio!
