Tasting Notes

Sophisticated and pure aromas of wild raspberries, fresh strawberries, potpourri and blood oranges. The palate is medium-bodied with seamless tannins and fine acidity, giving notes of dark cherries, wet bark and graphite. Tightly wound and focused. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

The 2023 Block 3 Pinot Noir is powerful and positively saturated in flavor and tannin. It is dripping with it. There are notes of black cherries, mulberries, blood plum, blood orange, a hint of cocoa powder, a suggestion of sweet tobacco and roasted game. It's got it all. The tannins feel to melt into the fruit in the way that seams of fat render into wagyu. This is excellent. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
