2021 Belle Glos 'Dairyman' Pinot Noir

Joe Wagner, scion of the same Wagner family that makes Caymus, has made his name producing bold, nuanced Pinot Noirs from unique vineyard sites and regions across California. Dairyman, which we affectionately refer to as the "Cab Lover's Pinot", is produced in the Russian River Valley. It offers decadent flavors of blackberry, dark chocolate, nutmeg, and raspberry, with hints of cedar and vanilla on the long, velvety finish. "This inky-purple wine exudes aromas of spiced cranberry. Deep and luxurious on the palate, with black cherry, chocolate, and 'sarsaparilla converging to complement the round, silky mouthfeel. The savory core of beetroot, plum, and balsamic lends a shadowed touch to the fine acid structure. Blueberry breaks through on the cinnamon-charmed finish." - 94 Points, Tasting Panel
