Ankida Ridge Vineyards Pinot Noir 2017 Review
It's after you've sipped this wine. That's when it hits you. The nose is soft, tight, and smells like cherries and soil. On the palate, it's the definition of silky, with an incredibly balanced mouthfeel. This wine lingers. It lingers on your palate as well as in your mind — nay, your soul. The sensation of drinking this wine is like no other I have enjoyed from this grape in this part of our country. The aromas and the texture are in such harmony, that you'll understand what balance in a wine inherently means.
