Description
The 2021 A to Z Essence Pinot Noir is a captivating blend of freshness and ripeness in a beautiful expression of a classic Oregon vintage. On the nose is a fragrant orchestra of sandalwood, cinnamon, and a potpourri of spices. Beneath this lays a rich medley of dried and fresh fruits, including orange peel, cherries, pomegranate, raisins, raspberries, and plums. Unfolding further, it reveals delightful undertones of dried flowers, anise, vanilla, and nutmeg. Savory notes of milk chocolate, marshmallow, marionberry jam, sweet tobacco, cocoa nibs, and fresh pomegranate juice perfect this symphony. The French oak profile adds a degree of sophistication, creating a balanced and complex wine that’s an undeniable crowd-pleaser. The palate enjoys a blend of gentle tannins and crisp acidity, providing a soft and luxuriant finish.
