Lot 433
2021 Arroyo Seco Pinot Noir

Aged for 15 months in oak, and from the same high-end program we'd acquired this from in our previous life, this wine is sure to please, not to mention, punching well above its weight class. This is a perfect cellar defender you won't feel guilty opening on a Tuesday, or a Saturday.

Concentrated raspberry coulis and plum sauce are deftly interwoven with dried leaves, rose, black tea, and black cherries. A bit of air and the entry reveals fresh turned soils, spice, mushrooms, and further black cherry framed by medium, expertly balanced acidity and small, supple tannins. The finish has great length with vanilla, barrel spices, and a resonant red berry and dried leaves umami. Break out the bacon!
