The 2021 Pinot Noir Laurelwood District has a pale ruby-purple color and slowly unfolding aromas of cranberries, tangerine peel, pipe tobacco and forest floor. The medium-bodied palate is powerful and generous with concentrated fruit, grainy tannins, plenty of refreshing acidity and a long, spicy finish.

Pretty nose of green strawberries, cranberries, dark currants, licorice and button mushrooms. Juicy and tasty with a medium body and gently dusty tannins. Moreish.

Sourced from both estate properties as well as purchased fruit from long-term grower commitments, the 2021 Pinot Noir Laurelwood District is packed with poppy fruit and bright with spices. Its notes of dusty earth, potpourri, and wild mixed berries with a hint of blue fruit are followed on the palate by a ripe and inviting red with a chocolate texture, sweet tannins, and a good finish. It’s drinking well now and will provide solid drinking over the coming 4-6 years.
