J.C. Somers 2019 Bella Vida Vineyard Pinot Noir
A blend of Pommard and Wadenswil clones, elegance and purity are the watchwords here. Lovely black and purple fruits are shown in abundance, framed with juicy acids. There's just enough sweetness to give the flavor a suggestion of blackberry preserves. It's immediately appealing, yet tasted after 24 hours it shows the structure to age over another decade.
