Tasting notes
Unlike many of the other wines at Relic—and this is a useful point of difference—the 2019 Pinot Noir Kashaya is a more delicate, understated wine. The cherries and raspberries are present but not in your face; the one-third new French oak eases gently into the background. This is very much about elegance and finesse, not richness, depth or power—it's a pretty wine with a silky feel and decent length.

Moving to the reds, the 2019 Kashaya Pinot Noir was two-thirds destemmed and brought up in one-third new French oak. Notes of wild strawberries, raspberries, flowers, and integrated stems define the nose, and it’s medium-bodied, balanced, and has considerable elegance on the palate. It will keep for 7-8 years easily.
