Second single vineyard Pinot Noir from Spell Estate is the Terra de Promissio Vineyard. Crimson red with garnet edges. Love the differences that distinguishes the different single vineyard bottlings. Lots of clay, wood, tea leaves, dried lavender and mesquite smoked wood. Some added maple bacon notes on day two. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and moderate acidity (6/10). Palate started off a little smokey and with red cherries on day one. Day two added in some more complexity with some light greenery some cherry cola and gamey notes. Fullest of the four Pinot Noirs with a moderate plus body. A little bit of heat and long finish. Drink till 2025. 91+
