Emeritus Vineyards Hallberg Ranch Pinot Noir 2021 Review
This wine shows that the Pinot Noir variety, when made with care, can still show fuller-bodied characteristics and still be wonderfully balanced. This wine is big, bold, and juicy with very prominent tannins gripping the edges. This wine has cherries, earth, and oak on the nose in even amounts with a drying palate filled with medium fruit depth.
