The Hilt Estate Pinot Noir Radian Vineyard 750Ml

Matt Dees, Winemaker Notes: So much going on with this wine, I could write a book. A flower that opens very slowly. Violet candies, black cherry, resin and lavender. Wet stones, pine forest and blackberry. Driven by dark fruit on the attack. Notes of dried strawberry and rosemary alongside charcoal and crushed rock. Sauteed chanterelle. Simultaneously full of black fruit and completely earth-driven and defined by gently gripping structure. Savory and dense. Energetic with black plum. Reduced and tightly coiled. A legendary Radian pinot noir in the making. One can taste the long, cool growing season and extended hang time in the balanced and mouthwatering fruit. Nervy and stacked with layer after complex layer.
