this Pinot Noir
Immediate depth to the aromas of dark cherries
It's evolving nicely and feels ready now
With 14 months sur latte ripens in the cellars over time
with some spice in perfume and some 'X-factor'
Croix Estate 'Floodgate' Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, USA 2021 Finca Can Feixes this Pinot NoirA broader and concentrated style, the 2021 vintage is delightfully aromatic featuring wafty scents of Bing cherries, wild picked raspberries, honeysuckle, baking spice, sassafras (sugary and sweet), and a dash of fresh oak. This is wonderful! A dark purple hue leads the way to a full bodied beauty with impressive, balanced flavors of lush cherry reduction sauce, cola, chanterelle mushrooms and earth undertones, silky tannins and a long finish.
