Tasting Notes
The 2021 MSR Pinot Noir is the epitome of potential. It boasts an impressive structure, firm, grippy tannins linked by vibrant acidity. It has a core of dense red fruit comingled with notes of soft herbs and a subtle hint of cola spice. It’s evident the full spectrum of this wine will unfold gradually rather than all at once. For those enjoying this Pinot Noir in its youth, we suggest decanting it to enhance the experience. However, if you're willing to exercise some patience, the reward will be truly gratifying.
