Tasting notes
The 2020 Pinot Noir Mays Canyon is a very delicate, nuanced wine with lovely floral and savory notes. The 20% whole clusters come through in the wine's personality. There's lovely purity of fruit, along with slightly grainy tannins that may soften a bit in time. Overall, this is nicely done, especially for the year.

A 2020 with some real depth and richness, showing hibiscus and orange-peel aromas and flavors, as well as notes of dried strawberry, white pepper, crushed stone and lime skin. Needs time to open and soften, but already impressive. Drink after 2024.
