BETHEL HEIGHTS PINOT NOIR ESTATE WEST BLOCK 2021

Small production and old vines (1977 planting). The West Block continues to produce wines of bountiful candied red fruits. The succulent acidity this block is known for, and a purity and persistence that is unmatched anywhere else on the property. 

96 POINTS, The Wine Advocate. "The 2021 Pinot Noir West Block takes some coaxing to reveal scents of cranberry, rhubarb and pomegranate with nuances of tobacco, dried earth, bitter orange and Angostura bitters. The medium-bodied palate is silky and energetic, with an intriguing touch of bitterness reminiscent of amaro carrying the long, layered finish. This has notable detail but will require more time in bottle to unwind."  Certified organic.
