Lastly, the 2019 Pinot Noir Katherine Lindsay Estate is a magical Pinot Noir that reminds me of a Grand Cru from the likes of Olivier Bernstein. Revealing a translucent ruby/purple hue as well as an extraordinary nose of black raspberries, cherries, scorched earth, graphite, and sous bois, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, an incredibly seamless, multi-dimensional texture, ultra-fine tannins, and perfectly integrated acidity, all of which contribute to a heavenly Russian River Pinot Noir that unquestionably checks in at the top of this terrific vintage. It can be enjoyed any time over the coming 10-15 years.
The 2019 Pinot Noir Katherine Lindsay Estate is a pretty rich, powerful wine. Dark berry fruit, lavender, sage, menthol and licorice flesh out in a distinctly potent Pinot with real palate presence and plenty of tannic clout. I would give it a few years to soften.
