A rare Pinot Noir release from Cakebread - get it while it's available! One hundred percent of the grapes for this Cakebread Pinot Noir came from the winery's estate vineyard near Boonville in the southern end of Anderson Valley. Masculine in style with dense, brooding, black plum, dark chocolate, vanilla and roasted coffee aromas. The full-bodied palate is lush and textured, with layers of mouthfilling dark fruit and chocolate-tinged flavors balanced by ripe, supple tannins. Delicious now with hearty fare, thie Cakebread 2018 Pinot Noir is a big, youthful Pinot Noir will soften and gain further complexity with another 3 to 5 years of bottle age.

Ruby with sweet red fruit aromas and spicy floral notes, aged for 10 months in 40% new French oak. On the palate fresh strawberry, raspberry and cherry flavors with tea and earthy tones. Fine smooth tannins, well balanced with acidity, nice mouthfeel, long finish ending with earthy mineral character. Very fresh will continue to age! Nice! Wow!! Tried twice!

Sum oaky Pinot! Somehow, it manages to preserve some elegance… strawberry, pomegranate, round tannins, medium plus bodied, medium minus acidity, medium plus alcohol, velvety. Cheers.

Good but not surprisingly not the best for the price. Smokier than preferred but still smooth and earthy. Would try again. Maybe a later vintage.
