Tasting notes
The 2019 Pinot Noir Allen Vineyard has a more purple floral character aromatically, with pristine cherry fruit and delicate cedar. The palate is elegant, with a wild strawberry note, a stony mouthfeel, fine tannin structure, and a long finish. Drink 2024-2034.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Allen Vineyard is especially elegant and expressive, with a medium ruby-purple color and aromas of pomegranate, rhubarb, blueberries and blood orange, layered with tones of mushroom, aniseed and cinnamon. The medium-bodied palate has a fine, sandy tannin structure balanced by bursts of fresh acidity, and it finishes with complex flavors, a streak of iron character and exceptional length.
