Darling Wines Azaya Vineyard Pinot Noir 2022 Review
This is a lively Pinot Noir from the Azaya Vineyard in the Petaluma Gap. This site benefits from a slight elevation and its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, bringing great freshness to the wine. This Pinot shows impressive balance, with notes of blueberries and black cherry lifted by a bright minerality and thirst-quenching acidity. This bottle has some serious range. It can be a fun chilled red to enjoy at a picnic or a serious sipper for your next wine-focused dinner party.
