Tasting notes
The 2021 Pinot Noir Thorn Ridge Ranch, matured for 17 months in 48% new French oak, is scented of wild strawberry and red cherry with nuances of potpourri, orange peel and botanicals. The light-bodied palate is grainy and refreshing with understated fruit and a long, spicy finish.

A saturated red color, the 2021 Pinot Noir Thorn Ridge Ranch sports a savory and more warming profile, with aromas of charred cedar, dried red cherries, leather, and woodsy herbs. Medium-bodied, it has a more coiled feel on the palate, with fine tannins, evenly balanced acidity, and a clean finish with notes of dusty earth and a hint of orange peel. Drink 2024-2030. (AF)
