The 2019 Estates Pinot Noir is brooding with aromas of cedar, fresh leather, and cherry liqueur. The palate offers a silky texture with fine tannins, dark black raspberry fruit, scorched earth, and pine. Drink 2023-2033.

This wine shows some reduction out of the gate. Beyond that are brooding aromas of toast, plum and moist earth, with fruit and barrel intertwining. The palate is as tight as a drum, with lithe fruit flavors backed by sandy tannins. There's plenty of acidity brightening it all. All of parts don't fit together at present, but the pieces are all there with a lot of upside. Best after 2026.
