2022 Allen Vineyard Pinot Noir

The Allen perfume is elusive and hard to describe but can be summed up with hints of strawberry and delicate flowers. Traces of raspberry and citrus come through in the delicate aromatics. The palate is really where this wine shines with roundness throughout from the front to the back. Lightly brewed black tea on the mid-palate transitions to an effusive finish of crushed rocks and minerals. Allen has a terrific track record of ageability, but who can resist it now!
