Cristom, Marjorie Vineyard Pinot Noir other_regions_italy " says Jim ClendenenThe 2021 Pinot Noir Marjorie Vineyard was fermented with 46% whole clusters, and the wine was matured in 35% new French oak for 18 months. It has broody aromas of black cherries, peppered salami, forest floor, potpourri and bitters. The medium bodied palate is bursting with savory, spicy layers. It's structured by powdery tannins and bright acidity and has a long, spicy finish. It will benefit from 3 5 years in bottle. 491 cases were made.
