Winemaker's tasting note:
Strawberries and rhubarb make an initial statement in the 2018 Westerhold Pinot Noir. Each and every time you smell this wine a new wave of complex aromatics pulls you further into the glass. Raspberry and kumquat flavors develop as you swirl and play with it, but the traditional Pinot Noir spices and berries never venture too far. Seamless and polished, this is the Pinot Noir that our hillsides were meant to craft. ~ Russell Bevan, Winemaker
