Tasting Notes
Release Date: Fall 2022
The beauty of our Pinot Noir is not only its heritage but also its ability to develop in the bottle. Our experiences tasting twenty and thirty-year-old vintages of Mount Eden Estate Pinot Noir have been unforgettable. Those moments are what collectible wines are all about. For those who love the magic of Burgundy, this wine is a fantastic comparison.
The aromas have the beginnings of great complexity. Deep scents of rose petal, violet flower, beautiful soft red fruit, and a slight decadent scent of forest floor decay give way to complete fullness across the palate with our typical mid-palate density. A long satisfying finish gives one the powerful impression of many years of positive development.
33% whole cluster fermented with no added yeasts. No fining or filtration at bottling.
