I’ve been a big fan of this, Navarro’s “mid-line” Pinot Noir, for many years, and this vintage reminds me why. It is a gorgeous wine year in and year out, show its cool climate Anderson Valley roots with elegance and style. The 2020 is perfectly ripe, with bright cherry and strawberry fruit, soft dry earth tones, freshening acidity and an extended, fully integrated finish. This is a serious value.
