2018 Mendocino Ridge Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes:

The subtle and light aromatics seem to float up out of the glass and take you on a summer tour of dried hay, dried leaves, and bright cherry notes. Something slightly savory lingers in the background. More tangy cherry, sharp strawberry and a chalky baby aspirin energize the palate that impresses with a lively finish. (Updated 1.4.22 - Alan)
