2021 The Hilt Bentrock Vineyard Pinot Noir Magnum

New Release Magnum

Enticing red fruit highlighted by fresh green herbs. Darker, decidedly woodsy, and more seductive on the palate with serious weight and so many dimensions. Mint, clove and raspberry. Classic Bentrock notes of blood orange shine through in this vintage. Round and generous black cherry fruit that leads to an increasingly bright finish. Fresh and poised with tons of tension and mouthwatering elements. Compelling today, but with so much more to offer. Pomegranate character on the finish. Highlights the southeast facing lieu-dits on the rocky property planted to the renowned, tiny-berried Calera clone. Lithe, but also endowed with power and muscle. Dusting of delicate and chalky tannins on finish. An absolute new level of expressiveness and elegance from this special vineyard site. - Matt Dees, Winemaker
