Mt Pajaro Vineyard, Pinot Noir, 2018
A complex, mountainous fragrance; wild berry, baked earth, mountain spice, and terracotta. On the palate, tension, richness but also a retrained note of savoury spice, a bakery aroma alongside wild plum and sun ripened strawberry fruit. Fine grained tannins give this a sense of shape and restraint, and with air, the palate reveals ripe raspberry and sweet stony notes. Elegant and compelling
critic reviews
This is only the second vintage of a Mt. Pajaro vineyard-designate Pinot Noir, and the immense potential of this site is on full display. The 2018 Pinot Noir Mt. Pajaro Vineyard opens with aromas of black cherry, compacted soil, fruitcake and charcoal. The palate is lively, tense and generously textured, leading to a sturdy, dense, blooming finish. While this immensely structured vintage dictates the necessity of time in the cellar, this is an impressive showing from a young site with a bright future.
