2018 Windy Oaks Estate Special Release Judy’s Block Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir

13.7% alc., 23 cases, $110. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. The nose speaks primarily of earthy flora. Very ripefruited in a mid-weight style with flavors of black currant, prune and Nutella. Soft in the mouth with gentle tannins. The deluge of ripe fruit lessens the charm of Pinot Noir for me, but the wine will find attractors. Score: 90. Reviewed September 19, 2021
