2020 Rippon Mature Vines Pinot Noir Wanaka, New Zealand Marin County and sweet tobacco spiceExtremely perfumed with a pretty ripeness and clarity, offering plums and al dente strawberries. Some cantaloupe, too. It's medium to full bodied with juicy fruit that's lovely and open. You want to drink it now. And do. Crunchy yet velvety and caressing in the mouth feel from the lovely, open tannins. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Best in a year or two, but right on.
