Rhys, Mt. Pajaro Vineyard Pinot Noir other_regions This took a long timeAlso upfront and already expressive, the 2018 Pinot Noir Mt. Pajaro Vineyard comes from a slightly higher elevation site (1,000 feet) in the Santa Cruz Mountains and is a mix of heritage clones and massale selection. Darker currants, raspberries, scorched earth, spice, and earthy, foresty notes dominate the bouquet, and this medium to full bodied, elegant 2018 has beautiful tannins, a solid sense of minerality, and a great finish. Drink it any time
