Tasting notes
The 2019 Pinot Noir Mays Canyon comes from vines planted in 1999, and it has a stunning expression! Medium ruby-purple in color, it features aromas of crushed strawberries, raspberries and cranberries with nuances of candied violet, allspice, conifer, tea leaves and licorice. The palate is delicate yet intense, boasting seamless acidity, layer after silky layer of detailed flavors and an incredibly persistent finish. Only 206 cases were made.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Mays Canyon is another of the more accessible wines in this range. Hints of blood orange and cinnamon lend an attractive, exotic flair. Bright acids perk up the dark cherry, plum, cedar and pipe tobacco flavors nicely. Understated and gracious to the core, the Mays Canyon Pinot is all class and ready to deliver pleasure with minimal cellaring.
