Tasting notes
The 2018 Pinot Noir Mays Canyon has lovely aromas of smoked charcuteries, redcurrant, rhubarb, burnt orange peel, aniseed and underbrush with notes of floral potpourri. The medium-bodied palate offers expansive, amaro-like flavor layers in a powerful frame, with pops of juicy acidity enlivening the very long finish.

The 2018 Pinot Noir Mays Canyon is once again one of the most evocative wines in the range. Nothing really stands out. Instead, the Mays Canyon is a wine of exquisite finesse. Like a cubist painting or improvisational jazz, so much about the Mays Canyon is implied, but not overly stated. That makes it an absolutely gorgeous, contemplative wine that will delight readers for years to come.
