Woodenhead case of Woodenhead 2019 Pinot Noir, Mendocino Rid

The vineyard site is approx. 2700’ in elevation on a mesa, about seven miles off pavement. Soil is Ornbaum-Zeni, a mountainous and hard rocky soil. Clean air, ocean breezes and ridge heat are all part of the terroir here. Tasting Notes: Gorgeous light ruby in color, berry aromas rise from the glass both red and black, with a chapparal like dusting and some lite cigar box tones, fruit driven, cheerful and charming. On the palate, berries abound in plentiful profusion, a joy in the kisser. Juicy, dripping with succulence, a luscious mouthful. I love this stuff, it’s fun to drink! Finishes with herbal red berried delight. Everything in balance with a little tannin to give it some stuffing. Drink it on it’s own, but it would go with any lighter fare. Enjoy this fairly priced gem! Gold Medal Winner, Mendocino County Harvest Fair, 2021 Silver Medal Winner, San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition 12 bottles, no shipping to MS.
