2017 Cartograph Estate Pinot Noir

Tasting notes:

This wine has a lovely dark ruby color. The black cherry aroma that showed in this wine when it was very young has shifted to the background paired with a bit of jasmine. More prominent now on the nose is a black tea with hibiscus floral notes. This wine hits the front of the palate bright and the wine shows great integration. There is some nice blackberry that helps soften the mid-palate leading to a medium finish with nice tannins giving your mouth a little pucker on the finish. (Updated 11.22.23 - Alan)
