2021 Wrath Pinot Noir, McIntyre Vineyard
In Stock
Wines made from master-grower Steve McIntyre’s vineyard often exhibit the telltale characteristics of Santa Lucia Highlands terroir. Our 2021 McIntyre Vineyard Pinot Noir is no exception. Comprised of 100 percent 115 clone and made with 25 percent whole-cluster fermentation, it is dense and complex, with Bing cherry, pomegranate, a touch of smoke and a mineral element. Berry flavors of cranberry and pomegranate remain persistent, blending with red cherry, more mineral and bright acidity in a structured finish.
