2020 J.D. HURLEY PINOT NOIR
Tasting notes
Grapes for this wine hail from the nearby vineyards of Rich and Erika Dellamaggiore (R.E.D). It exhibits true French style, with a bouquet of strawberry, black currant and a hint of cinnamon, then moves to notes of vanilla, complemented by an explosion of ripe raspberries. A distinctive wine that keeps its promise with a kiss of French oak, cherry & caramel.
