A perfumed and pretty nose sporting lavender, floral and spice, contrasted by blue- and black- berry character, shows off the signature of this estate vineyard. The dense but buoyant palate isn't shy, with dark berry flavors, spice, and whole cluster signature shinning through. Round and concentrated, this wine is supported with integrated acidity and tightly wound, finely textured tannins.
Wine Advocate Review:
Medium ruby-purple, the 2016 Pinot Noir La Belle Promenade Vineyard has a perfumed, savory nose of charcuterie, oolong tea leaves, woodsmoke, dusty earth, crushed black cherries, potpourri and red berry sparks. It's medium-bodied, concentrated and nuanced, with a firm, grainy frame, seamless freshness and a long, perfumed finish. This has loads of stuffing and a structure that will benefit from another year or two in bottle. 398 cases produced. Anticipated Maturity: 2020-2026
