Tasting notes:

The 2016  Saltonstall Pinot noir has a solid cherry core with scents of violet, red fruits, dried leaves and mushroom wrapped around that cherry core. On the palate bright cranberry and strawberry light up your tongue. These light fruits present a medium palate that turns slightly minty right before a rush of soft tannins on the finish. It is drinking very nicely now and has at least another three to five years before it will show much more age. (Updated 3.4.20)
