2010 Gantenbein Pinot Noir

The 2010 Pinot Noir is another generous and fruity red that intermixes ripe and cooked red berry flavors with crystalline and lemony slate notes. Pure but intense and ripe, the palate is silky, very elegant and refined, with good intensity and crystalline salinity. It is slightly drying on the finish, though, as if the seeds were a bit brittle. The aftertaste is lush, aromatic and pretty juicy but fine. Tasted in November 2018.
