Joseph Phelps Pinot Noir Pastorale Vineyard 2016

Napa Valley, United States
8.0

Silky tannins frame dark cherry and wild strawberry with remarkable finesse for such a substantial wine. Whole cluster fermentation brings savory complexity. Crushed herbs and forest floor. That lifts the rich fruit. The finish shows beautiful mineral tension and floral lift.
