2014 Muska Pinot Noir

92 Points | Vinous – Vivid ruby. A highly aromatic, spice-tinged bouquet evokes ripe red and blue fruits, lavender and cola, and a zesty mineral flourish builds as the wine opens with air. Shows impressive energy and lift on the palate, offering juicy raspberry and cherry compote flavors complicated by hints of spicecake and candied flowers. Sweet and seamless in texture, finishing with very good energy and silky, harmonious tannins.

Comprised of pinot noir grapes from Muska vineyard located in the Eola-Amity Hills. The vines were planted in 2006 in volcanic basalt-gelderman and jory soil.

This pinot noir is made up of 4 clones: 777, 115, Pommard, and Wadenswil.

Only 200 cases produced!
