Very pretty nose of jasmine, white rosemary, acacia, white peaches, pears, pie crust, cloves and lemons. Aromatically complex, with elegant and light-footed layers. Medium-bodied. Tight and bright.

Also pouring a deep ruby hue, the 2021 Pinot Noir Louise Vineyard is floral and fruity initially on opening and has a delicate warming feel, with notes of cardamom, Asian spice, mixed red and black berries, wet stone, and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, it’s generous and inviting right out of the gate, although it will do well over the coming 8-10 years and should develop more umami richness and savory nature. Right now, it’s rather primary, although it’s well-balanced and has a great finish, with velvety tannins and even-keeled acidity.

My favorite Louise since Tina spent 18 months on lees in French oak, 38% new. Dark, rich aromas and flavors of Bing cherries wrapped in bittersweet dark chocolate are accented by bits of mint and cedar. Silky tannins and lively acidity are in harmony with the fruit and alcohol, providing a crisp, clean mouthfeel.
