2021 "Duende" Pinot Noir

Gold Coast Vineyard, WA 95 points

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Duende Gold Coast Vineyard comes from 33-year-old, own-rooted Martini clone vines. It has a pale ruby color and alluring Earl Grey tea leaves, orange peel and Angostura accents with a core of cranberries, raspberries and strawberries. The light-bodied palate features concentrated, crunchy, fruits, bright acidity and a chalky texture, and it finishes with tremendous floral layers. All that fruit on such a drinkable frame is addicting!"
