Tasting notes
The 2021 Pinot Noir Arrendell Vineyard, from vines planted in 1975, was matured in 33% new French oak for 15 months. It has complex, spicy aromas of red cherries and berries, cinnamon, graphite, tobacco and tea leaves. The medium-bodied palate is energetic and spicy with concentrated flavors and a long, ultra-perfumed finish. Only 73 cases were made.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Arrendell Vineyard is expressive of sassafras, brambly wild berries, and toasted cedar. Full-bodied, with a lot of balance but no harsh edges, it has fresh acidity, an ultra-fine tannin structure, and a long, graceful finish, with candied roses, black raspberry liqueur, and dusty earth. A very attractive wine, it’s drinking well now and will certainly be worth enjoying over the next 15 years.
