Did you know that humans can discriminate more than one trillion different scents? It is true! You can read about it here! But what we wanted to know when tasting this vintage of Skin-n-Bones Pinot Noir is just how many you can detect at any one time. There is so much detail in this wine, layer upon layer of classic, Burgundian Pinot Noir aromas which are very much like the middle of the mulch pile where life is earthy, deep, humic, sweet, savory, spicy, lavender, aniseed-y. There truly is a scent for everyone. Refreshing, finessed and elegant on the palate with negroni bitter notes.
Four Pinot Noir clones (predominantly MV6), 30 days on skins, 10% new French oak for 10 months.
