2018 Perli Vineyard Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes:

The '18 Perli is just starting to show some brickish color indicating it is starting to shift away primary fruit aromatics to a more integrated experience. Up front the primary aroma is dark fruit - blueberry, blackberry and fresh cut cedar notes  hover in the background. The palate shows that same cedar note balanced by a pretty black cherry core. The color tells you the wine has some age but it is fresh and silky on the palate.  There is a light unique herbal character here that is close to tarragon with a satisfying tannin grip on the finish.
