Mail Road 2021 Pinot Noir Mt Carmel Vineyard, Santa Rita Hills -100 Points

FMW 100 Points: “ The 2021 Mail Road Pinot Noir Mount Carmel has a youthful aroma slowly showing the gorgeous aromas of fresh sage, rose petals, strawberries a touch of earth, and spice – this wine is wonderfully perfumed! The wine is full in body, yet extremely elegant! Showing a core of raspberries, blackberries, and layers of spice flavors, firm yet refined and sophisticated! This youngster offers up freshness and finishes long with silky-grained tannins and a long perfumed finish.  A MUST FOR YOUR CELLAR

Jeb Dunnuck 97 Points: “Moving to the 2021 releases, the 2021 Pinot Noir Mount Carmel Vineyard is slightly deeper ruby-hued and has a gorgeous perfume of ripe red and black fruits, scorched earth, graphite, white pepper, and obvious minerality. It’s stunning on the palate as well, with medium to full body, integrated acidity, and ripe yet building tannins. I love its purity, and it’s rich and concentrated yet stays graceful, well-balanced, and light on its feet. Give bottles a year or three and enjoy over the following decade.”
