Dog Point Vineyard Pinot Noir

Never has a more captivating pinot noir emerged from the revered Dog Point cellar, thanks to an ever more focused regime that hones in on every detail. Vineyard clones have been refined since 2006, yields are stringently moderated and the harvest is sorted prior to cold soak, wild ferment and maturation in French oak (half new). The result is more gorgeous aromas of rose petal, violet and red cherry than ever, followed by a palate of incredible focus, restraint and fragrance, alive with red cherry fruit, subtle dried herb nuances and mineral tannins. $33 at Wine Box Warehouse.
