2021 CalStar 'Rivers Edge' Pinot Noir, Mendocino   

The palate is an expression of the vintage’s ripeness framed within the cool-climate brightness and acidity. There’s an enticing dance of cranberry, raspberry, and currant on the palate, matched by a mineral-driven mid-palate marked by wet earth, dried herbs, and espresso nuances. Despite the challenging season, the tannins have remained soft and velvety, offering a harmonious balance.
