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.
