This garnet-colored gem of a Pinot Noir is youthful and vibrant. Boisterous red berry fruit aromas are mimicked on the palate with flavors of red raspberry, Bing cherry, pomegranate, pink peppercorn, and a hint of floral potpourri, supported by earthier notes of clay and leather. The mouthfeel is bright and lively with linear tannins. The wine finishes long and supple with hints of caramel and spiced clove, a signature characteristic of Grace Benoist Ranch Pinot Noir. Ethereal and soft with a fresh core
of acidity, it pairs beautifully with a variety of cuisines and culinary dishes.

Handsome black cherry and black tea flavors ride a good structure of moderate tannins in this concentrated, deep and complex-tasting wine. Accents of rose petals, cloves and redwood forest make it interesting to sip and savor.

The 2020 Pinot Noir Grace Benoist Ranch is a powerful, bombastic wine. Black cherry, plum, game, chocolate, licorice and spice are all amplified. This rich, extravagant Pinot is not at all subtle, but it sure packs plenty of punch.
