2021 Benovia Tilton Hill Pinot Noir

"From a chilly site above Freestone, this red is deliciously robust in white pepper and cardamom, with traces of black tea throughout. Substantial opulence and weight belie its underlying elegance and complexity, textured like a velvety plum." 

"Plush and creamy, with notes of underbrush to the vibrant cherry and berry flavors, followed by accents of white pepper and slate on the crunchy finish." 

"Medium ruby-purple in color, the 2018 Pinot Noir Tilton Hill emerges slowly, its iron and graphite scents segueing to tea leaves, woodsmoke, dried herbs and red and black berry fruit. Medium-bodied, the palate is grainy, fresh and intense, with earth-laced fruits and a long, bitters-laced finish."
