2019 Tyler La Encantada Vineyard Pinot Noir [WA96][V94]

"Pale ruby-purple, the 2019 Pinot Noir La Encantada Vineyard has a pale ruby-purple color and nuanced perfume, with detailed aromas of cranberry, rhubarb, cured meats, dried flowers and amaro. The medium-bodied palate is fresh and silky, its intense wild-berry fruit corseted by tones of iron. It finishes long and floral." 

"The 2019 Pinot Noir La Encantada Vineyard is glorious. Rich and pliant in the glass, the Encantada has so much to offer. Sweet red cherry, red plum, blood orange and spice all build effortlessly in the glass. The 50% whole clusters are barely perceptible in the flavor profile, but play a greater role in the wine's structural feel." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"La Encantada effortlessly traverses a cascade of aromas drawn from marine fog and meager soils: sandalwood, rosehip, and bergamot. A persistent saline spine delivers a core of wild, brambly fruit and the grounding nuance of black tea. Bound in its fine tannins is the promise of years of complexity still to be revealed."
