Flowers Pinot Noir 2021

Pure decadence in a glass. Brooding aromas of black cherry liqueur, cola, smoky cedar, and tangy orange peel lift from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the wine’s plush red fruit is framed by satiny plump tannins, with mouth-puckering acidity and a wealth of character in its crushed stone, apricot skin, pomegranate, spiced plums, and long finish flecked by chocolate shavings, pencil lead, and smoky blood orange notes: Savoury, succulent and energetic, a dynamic effort. Drinking window: 2024-2034. Score – 93. (Jonathan Cristaldi, decanter.com, March 26, 2023)
