Brittan Vineyards Cygnus Block Pinot Noir 2021

Bold and evocative, a classic Brittan Pinot noir. Violets and licorice spice pop on the nose before an initial burst of fresh red fruits. Then a deep-dive to blueberry jam, transitioning to blackberries picked right from the vine, hanging on remarkably long through the creamy, lightly savory finish. -Marcus 2019 vintage notes 97 points The Wine Advocate: "The 2019 Pinot Noir Cygnus Block offers tremendous aromatic definition and layering: bursts of lavender, bergamot and botanicals give way to a core of mixed berry preserves, and each return to the glass brings a new alluring fragrance. Its generosity is echoed on the palate, which is packed with floral fruit. It has a support of grainy tannins and mouthwatering acidity and a fantastically detailed, energetic finish. It's a beautiful Willamette Valley Pinot Noir that embodies power and grace."
