Score 93/100 · Drink 2020-2026, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Dec 2020

The 2018 Pinot Noir X Novo Vineyard takes its time to unfold to layers of amaro, blackberries, cured meats and dusty earth. Medium-bodied, the palate is grainy and fresh with spicy, earth-laced fruits that linger for a long time in the mouth.

Deep, vivid red. Spice-and mineral-driven raspberry and cherry aromas show excellent clarity and take on a sexy floral quality as the wine opens up. Concentrated yet lithe, offering juicy red fruit, floral pastille and spicecake flavors that show sharp definition and back-end lift. Finishes with impressive, spice-driven tenacity, leaving candied rose and red berry notes behind. 40% new oak. (JR)
