2018 Cristom Old Vine Series Hyland Vineyard McMinnville Pinot Noir

14.0% alc., 175 cases, $45. Wadenswil and Coury clones. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Very seductive whole cluster driven nose of cherry, beef rub spices, rose petal and a light imprint of oak. Absolutely delightful with a mid-weight core of well-spiced black cherry fruit framed by moderately firm tannins and acidic verve. Terrific harmony with a lip-smacking finish of striking length. Exhilarating when tasted the following day from a previously opened bottle. The whole monty and a tremendous value. Score: 97. Reviewed February 21, 2022
