2019 Black Kite Cellars Kite’s Rest Vineyard Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley

Our 2019 Kite’s Rest Vineyard Pinot Noir is the kind of wine you grab a thesaurus to describe, because calling it pretty just isn’t enough. A blend of the vineyard’s three distinct blocks, it opens with a heady perfume of violet and rose potpourri that gives way to more pronounced notes of Bing cherry, plum and sweet vanilla oak with just a hint of clove and cedar. The bright, lifted palate is at once elegant and weighty, with focused acids and polished tannins providing a compelling tension throughout the long, nuanced finish. Enjoy upon release or cellar for up to 5-9 years.
