2021 Nichole’s Blend Sonoma County

Spicy and transparent, this edition of Nichole’s puts a spotlight on Pinot Noir’s subtler side. Spiced cranberries and early-season cherries dominate a palate where fresh earth and forest floor provide bass notes, while Chinese five-spice invigorates the corners. Medium-bodied and translucent, the florality of this wine is striking and continues to evolve and complement a gentle glass swirl. A wonderfully nuanced introduction to what Pinot Noir was capable of from the classic 2021 vintage.
