Tasting notes
The 2021 Pinot Noir Allen Vineyard, matured for 15 months in 55% new oak, opens with an arresting perfume: blueberry, pomegranate and cara cara orange are lent complexity by wafts of rooibos tea, grenadine and soaring floral perfume. The medium-bodied palate is just as stunning, pairing concentrated, perfumed flavors with dusty tannins and mouthwatering acidity that lures you back to the glass over and over again. 235 cases were made.

Lots of lush dark and red fruits followed by lavender and kola nuts with subtle vanilla beans and fresh herbs. Medium-bodied, showing beautiful density on the mid-palate. Silky and juicy tannins with refreshing acidity. Outstanding harmony with wonderful drinkability and finesse. Gorgeous.
