TN: 2013 Castelli Vineyards Pinot Noir Estate Pinot Dry Farmed

  • 2013 Castelli Vineyards Pinot Noir Estate Pinot Dry Farmed - USA, California, Sonoma County, Green Valley of Russian River Valley (2/21/2021)
    PnP with some slight glass air time. Hazy garnet in the glass, touch of brick. Nose comes across with tart cherries, vanilla, leather. Pretty potent and forward with north of medium weight swirling in the glass. Front leads cherry, tart and acidic. Very forward. Vanilla, some herb-y spiciness mixed in with oak and light shares of vanilla. Middle mellows out a bit surprisingly. Finish is fruit riding front on acidity and tannins. Think this would be a good food wine. Acidity is mouth puckering and the heavier structure would stand up with some interesting dishes. I have some BBQ left, this would pair nicely. Nice bottle.
