Pale to medium ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir Whistling Ridge Vineyard slowly opens to reveal red currant, crushed black cherries, cured meats and a graphite/mineral undercurrent with accents of amaro, flowers and fragrant earth. Medium-bodied and silky, it’s mineral driven and nuanced in the mouth with fine, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing very long and bitters-laced. Give this another year or two in bottle.
