2018 Precious Mountain Vineyard Pinot Noir

This unique wine is grown on a mountain top, on the second ridge in from the Pacific Ocean. Compact and intense on the nose, the aromas meld into one. Notes of red fruits, citrus, currant, flowers, and crushed rocks can be discerned, but coalesce easily into a beautiful perfume. The palate is tannic and intense with notes of dried herbs and an earthy, terracotta-like flavor. The fruit elements come late on the palate due to the tannic load on the front end, owing to the high elevation and dry farming of the site. Give this vintage time in the cellar to fully blossom.
