J Vineyards Pinot Noir
2018, California
Beautifully aromatic with appealing depth on the palate, this multi-appellation Pinot Noir offers a smooth, fruit-forward sip. This silky wine opens with fruit notes of black cherry, blueberry and blackberry jam, which blends seamlessly with earthy and spicy hints of forest floor, lavender, freshly-ground coffee beans and clove. Well-textured acidity, fine tannins and suggestions of dark toast give the palate depth and complexity before a lingering finish highlighted by fruit notes.

“There’s unctuous spiciness to the rich, well-concentrated dark cherry, plum and wild berry flavors that are backed by firm acidity and tannins. Savory and minerally components linger on the open-textured finish.”
