Cattleya 2021 Pinot Noir Cuvee Number Eight, Sonoma Coast 95 Points

Jeb Dunnuck 95 Points: “A semi-opaque, deep ruby with a purple hint, the 2021 Pinot Noir Cuvee Number Eight takes on a darker profile, with wet stone, blackberry, pepper, and grilled rosemary. Full-bodied, it brings more structure, with ripe tannins, iron-rich earth, and kirsch as well as fresh lift on the finish. Drink 2025-2035. – ”

Tasting Notes: A very opulent, broad-shouldered wine that is loaded from start to finish with lush fruit.  Stunning aromas and a lush body loaded with red cherry jam and a touch of licorice, exotic spices, tangerine, and dried flowers. The wine is Medium to full in body, layered with bright and forward fruit, leading into a long and very elegant finish.
