"A big, rich, powerful 2017, the 2017 Pinot Noir Occidental Ridge Vineyard comes all from Dijon clones and spent 10 months in 25% new French oak. It’s loaded with notions of cassis, smoked herbs, mint, and spicy aromas and flavors and is medium to full-bodied, with a stacked mid-palate as well as a great finish. It’s another terrific Pinot Noir from this estate that can be drunk today with incredible pleasure or cellared for upwards of a decade." Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com, Jun 2019 |
