2018 Mansfield-Dunne Cortada Alta Vineyard Dijon Clones Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir

14.5% alc., 1 select barrel, $N/A. · Dark garnet color in the glass. Highly aromatic, with seductive aromas of dark berries, ripe black cherries, baking spices and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, with an appealing sleekness and roundness. Robust purple and black fruits are featured, framed by very modest tannins and uplifting acidity. Oak does not make an appearance. The intensely fruity finish is quenching. This wine has spirit. Score: 93. Reviewed February 28, 2021
