Occidental Pinot Noir Freestone-Occidental 2023
A beautifully expressive wine that showcases both concentration and freshness. The nose is lifted with vibrant aromas of ripe red fruits, including cranberry and black cherry, interwoven with delicate florals of rose and a hint of blood orange zest. Subtle notes of blueberry add depth, while a savory herbal character brings complexity. Bright and juicy on the palate, delivering a lively interplay of blood orange, cranberry, and dark red fruit. A touch of spice and earthiness enhances its racy, savory profile, with a superb balance of herbs and finely integrated tannins. The finish is long and grippy, leaving an impression of finesse and elegance.
