Mark Aubert’s Tasting Notes
2021 UV-SL Pinot Noir is dense, brooding, and inky. Mulberry, black cherry compote, and hoisin sit atop a resinous herbal character indicative of the chapparal terroir delimiting the vineyard site. This wine is the epitome of balance between power and vibrant minerality. Layers of fine-grained tannin and bright acidity form a chiseled structure that supports the ultra-concentrated flavor and aroma. Inviting now, this wine will continue to reveal its greatness for many years to come. Suggested drinking window is 2024 through 2040.
