"The 2016 Pinot Noir Block 8 has a medium ruby color and youthfully subdued nose of peppercorn, tobacco, dried tea leaves, bergamot and bitter citrus peel over a red and black fruit core. Light to medium-bodied, it gives wonderful concentration and layers in the mouth—fruit, earth and spice are all here—with very fine, grainy tannins and a very energetic, almost buzzing, long and layered finish. This will benefit from decanting. 466 cases produced."
