Brittan Vineyards Estate Pinot Noir 2018 (92 VM)
Brilliant ruby. Tightly focused cherry, dark chocolate, licorice and floral scents are accompanied by suggestions of musky herbs and smoky minerals. Chewy and energetic on the palate, offering bitter cherry, cola and baking spice flavors that take a sweeter turn with air. Dusty tannins add closing grip to repeating cherry and floral notes that show fine delineation and lingering smokiness.
