Wente Baily Hill Pinot Noir 2021

Baily Little, a Wente family friend, was a pioneer of Pinot Noir vineyards in California’s Central Coast. Black cherry and cinnamon spice highlight the character of this juicy, earthy red. Finely tuned acidity and a spark of white pepper plays out on the zippy clove and red tea finish. Score – 92. (Meridith May, tastingpanelmag.com, July/Aug. 2024)
