2021 Patricia Green Pinot Noir Ankle Breaker Block

Equally expressive and a complete 180-degree shift in style, the 2021 Pinot Noir Corrine Vineyard Anklebreaker Block pours a deep ruby-red and opens to rich notes of lavender, wild black raspberry preserve, and tons of dry, rocky earth. Full-bodied and gravelly in texture, it fills the palate, but it’s weightless and has a more grounded sensibility, with ripe tannins that expand across the palate. It’s going to benefit from another couple years in bottle before drinking over the following 15 years.
