“Made with 40% whole clusters, the 2019 Pinot Noir Estate has a pale ruby-purple color and pretty scents of cranberries, strawberries and wild blackberries, with nuances of forest floor, dried orange peel and licorice. Medium-bodied, it’s rounded and fresh with spicy berry fruits and a long, bitters-tinged finish.” 93 WA, 2022-2032
