Tasting notes
The 2020 Pinot Noir Trout Gulch is another gorgeous wine in this range. Sweet dark cherry, gravel, spice, dried flowers, orange peel and licorice flesh out. Deceptive in its mid-weight structure, the 2020 is deep, expressive and full of personality. It is another seriously impressive wine in this range.

The 2020 Pinot Noir Trout Gulch utilized 75% whole cluster fruit in fermentation, and it is lifted with salted raspberry, wet stones, and delicate red flowers. The palate is medium bodied, with super-fine tannins. There is crunchy red fruit and perfume on the finish, with a long-lasting mineral feel.
