Cuvaison Estate Pinot Noir 2019 Review
Carneros is the coolest region in the the Napa Valley enjoying the cool climate form the San Pablos Bay to the south. Pinot Noir from here has a unique character when done well. Like this bottle right here. It's a sunny place, coaxing the grapes to ripen at a steady pace while the natural sugars are moderated by that cool breeze. The result is this beautiful Pinot that has earth first folding into cherries on the nose. The palate has good acidity but allows the core of fruit to take center stage giving the wine a wonderful depth. Great for a legit cheese plate.
