2022 Estate Pinot Noir

TASTING NOTES

Beautiful deep garnet in color with a youthful purplish edge, the nose opens with mixed aromas of blueberries, dark cherries, black raspberries and gentle floral notes of lavender and fragrant rosemary. These lovely aromas evolve towards baking spice, clove and cardamom, with wet gravel mineral notes. Smooth on the palate with a fine yet firm texture, sustained by the baking spices  and black currant core,  the wine travels nicely on the palate and tightens on the mid-palate towards the finish, where the stony mineral notes, cloves, and blue fruit flavors remain, lingering nicely on the long and tight finish.  This wine feels like a classic example of the iron fist core, mixed red and dark fruits, and the rosemary and lavender aromas so reminiscent with the Eola-Amity Hills AVA, and the Anahata vineyard in particular, all with balanced attributes that are enjoyable now, yet will blossom and open up in elegance as  it ages.
