Emeritus Vineyards Wesley's Reserve Pinot Noir 2021 Review
The evenness and deep soulfulness of this wine will stick with you long after the bottle has been emptied. It has a wonderful earthy nose rich in umami with cherry and mushroom aromas. The mouthfeel has a nice balance between the beautiful depth of fruit and prominent acidity. It's juicy yet elegant and extremely refreshing.
