The 2019 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard Block 43 is laced with crushed flowers, cedar, mint and sweet tobacco that give the Block 43 tons of aromatic nuance. Medium in body and yet fleshy, the 2019 has so much going on. This is an especially savory, earthy Bien Nacido Pinot.

The 2019 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard Block 43 offers lots of ripe red and black fruits as well as notes of rose petals, underbrush, and a kiss of briny minerality. Classic Bien Nacido Pinot Noir, it’s fresh, focused, and structured on the palate, with outstanding length. It will have a decade or more of longevity.

Enticing, with a juicy, lively mix of linzer torte and kirsch liberally lined with mouthwatering dried anise, sous-bois and savory hints. The finish features a rooibos tea note amid the fruit, which adds length. Drink now through 2029. 426 cases made.
