Bevan Pinot Noir Petaluma Gap 2021
Flaunting alluring aromas of creamy vanilla, cherry pie and Christmas spices, this memorable new Pinot launches forth with opulent Bing cherry, raspberry and a hint of strawberry – rhubarb pie on the silky finish. Copious notes of lavender, cassis and cranberries come through a full 20 seconds after finishing this tasty creation. This is a massive wine (almost Cab-like in its intensity) guaranteed to impress fans of the boldest Pinots such as Sea Smoke and Kosta Browne. Although a mere youth, this is already a leviathan wine that coats the palate with remarkable viscosity and seductive flavors. Enjoy the journey anytime through 2029. Decanting recommended prior to 2024.
