2021 Schubert Pinot Noir "Block B"
$79.00Price
Dark cherries and baked plums are unfolding from the glass, transitioning into thyme and violets with impressions of cassis, sandalwood, and cinnamon. A complex wine with a firm tannin structure, yet smooth mouthfeel. The supporting role of oak intensifies the underlying dark cacao and spicy characters.
