Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, December 22, 2021 - This wine pours light ruby with some pink toward the rim. The nose is highly aromatic and massively complex on opening showing notes of rose petals, blood orange, pomegranate, burning incense, burnt orange peel, crushed coriander seed, crushed cardamom pod, granite, fresh thyme, red cherry, strawberry, fresh ginger, and a touch of forest undergrowth. The palate enters on bright sweet red fruit, with medium minus tannin and medium plus acid. The mid-palate is gorgeously textured, sweet, and bright accented with loads of spice. The finish does turn ever so slightly bitter and green, which is really the only knock I can come up with against it. What a stunning wine. Stylistically this recalls some of the restrained new world Pinot Noirs I've had from Mount Eden, Rhys, and Littorai, with also perhaps even a nod to a young upper tier burgundy from a top producer who uses stems. This wine is a legend. An instant classic. A wine that when opened in 10, 20, 30 years will have people baffled at its origin, aromatics, and complexity. Just stunning, stunning juice here from Envinate.
