2022 Neely Winery 'Upper Picnic Block' Pinot Noir, Santa Cruz Mountains   

Brooding on the nose, the 2022 Upper Picnic Pinot Noir layers red plum with earl gray tea, crushed violets, and its typical spice. Highly structured with dense black cherry that persists through the lengthy finish, the grippy tannins ensure that this wine will continue to develop for years to come.
