Montinore Red Cap Pinot Noir 2021

The 2021 Pinot Noir Red Cap is dark and brooding, with a dusty blend of dried strawberries, white pepper and hints of cedar. This flows across the palate with silky textures and ripe red fruits as an acid-driven tension mounts toward the close. Chalky mineral tones and touches of lavender resonate as the 2021 finishes with staining and long.

A fading Bing cherry aroma is sandwiched between earthy notes of freshly turned garden soil and worn saddle leather. The wine feels thin in the mouth, with flavors of raspberries and a cup of green tea that's been steeped a good long while. The acidity will wake up your palate like an icy polar bear plunge on New Year's Day.
