2021 Pinot Noir Llewellyn Cuvee
"This is a wine so lovely in the glass that you can simply gaze at it awhile before tasting. The aromas bring brambly berry, cherry and herbal spice. As with many screwcapped wines it’s shut down and needs extra breathing time for the flavors to fill in. Not a big wine by any standard, but elegant and complex, with finishing notes of chocolate and underbrush."
