The 2021 Pinot Noir Wendling Vineyard is phenomenal. Dark and pliant, with tremendous vertical intensity, the Wendling is outrageously beautiful. Succulent dark fruit, lavender, rose petal, spice, new leather, blood orange and a good deal of whole cluster savoriness from the 50% stems are some of the many notes that inform this statuesque, dazzling Pinot. What a wine.
The 2021 Pinot Noir Wendling Vineyard is very expressive! It has complex aromas, with red cherry, blueberry and briar fruit accented by tones of juniper, lavender, fresh tobacco leaves, fennel and conifer. The medium-bodied palate is bursting with perfumed fruit. It has a seamless frame of chalky tannins, vibrant acidity and a very long, spicy finish.
Showing both the coolness of the site and the coolness of the vintage, the 2021 Pinot Noir Wendling Vineyard is ethereal, floral, and savory, with well-defined characteristics of rhubarb, redcurrant, and lavender. Grippy and well-structured, its acidity buzzes beneath the surface, impressively extending the spicy finish of cardamom and black tea. It should age 10-15 years.
A broad, generous wine that's rich in black fruit and well balanced. Black cherries and blackberries with hints of spearmint and star anise, a medium body, decent tangy acidity and moderate tannins. Drink now.
