Brittan Vineyards Estate McMinnville Pinot Noir 2019

This cooler vintage perfectly suits the preferred style of Robert Brittan. This is both powerful in terms of focus and length, and a finessed wine as far as expressing more subtle details. It’s well delineated with complex flavors of citrus, blackberries, tar, espresso, molten rock and graphite. Still young and compact, it would be optimal to decant this if you plan on near-term drinking. It should continue to develop on through the mid-2030s. Cellar Selection. Score – 94.
