Community Tasting Note

rieslinghoarder Likes this wine:

Monday, March 30, 2020 - 1st of 2 bottles. Pop n' pour into a GGG glass, side by side comparison with the 2017 House Block Whistling Ridge Pinot Noir.

Predominantly red fruit on the nose (raspberry, strawberry, pomegranate) that is a little more sweet and fragrant than in the House Block bottling. Good dose of organic soil, baking spices, and a touch of granite. The wine is elegant yet formidable, with good tension, coating the palate and tongue with bright red fruit and baking spice notes lifted by its mouthwatering acidity. The wine's aromatics shut down after about 45 minutes, with just some faint tart cherry, wet leaves, and baking spice. This definitely needs time, and I'll be saving my remaining bottle to open at least 10 years from now.
