2014 Perli Vineyard Pinot Noir

Tasting notes:

The 2014 Perli Pinot Noir boasts a harmonious blend of dark cherry and blackberry aromas, now fully integrated with age. Earthy undertones of dried leaves, twigs and mushroom are prominent, with subtle hints of dark cherry and jasmine scented tea. On the palate, it is initially focused on the front, but reveals medium weight and light Bing cherry and raspberry flavors as it spreads across the tongue. The tannins are well-integrated, adding complexity to the finish. Bright and lively, this wine pairs well with savory grains or mushroom dishes.  (Updated 1.27.23 - Alan)
