Lot 126
2019 Anderson Valley "Reserve" Pinot Noir
Description
Beautiful, translucent garnet in the glass. Smoky black cherry is haloed with rose petal and spicy orange blossom underpinned with blackberry, black tea and forest floor notes. The palate is broad, firmly structured and seamless with juicy-yet-nuanced fruit notable for its excellent fruit/acid tension. Everything here is beautifully proportioned and elegantly rendered with pitch-perfect verve and precision.

N.126 2019 Anderson Valley Pinot Noir - bigger and fleshier, N.126 is the "Reserve" big brother to N.125 and it shows as the wine is still tightly wound and swaddled in baby fat right out of the bottle. It opens up nicely, and would be fantastic with richer fare, but it definitely needs a good hour decant. This is a very collectible wine and patience is required.
