2019 Eastside Knoll Vineyard Pinot Noir
From the first swirl, our 2019 Eastside Knoll Pinot Noir offers classic notes of this extraordinary site. Delicate and deft, the wine opens with fruit characteristics of juicy Bing cherry, fresh-picked raspberry and dusty wild blackberry, lifted by crisp acidity. Offering appealing density, the red fruit intensity is balanced by notes of hibiscus, spice and forest floor. The smooth, refined palate is caressed by a touch of toasty oak on the finish.

Medium ruby, the 2019 Pinot Noir Eastside Knoll opens with flinty character that accents intense berry fruit and touches of licorice, nori and potpourri. The light-bodied palate is bright and fresh with a supporting, grainy frame and long, mineral-driven finish. It will benefit from another 2-3 years in bottle.

Sweet berries, ripe strawberries and orange peel on both the nose and palate. Full and tight with bright acidity and a long, flavorful finish. It’s a bigger style of pinot, yet remains lively and beautiful. Drinkable now, but a year or two will open it up.
