Withers Charles Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018 (750ml)

This superb Pinot reveals its Pommard clonal heritage through a combination of focused dark bing cherry notes and fine grained tannins. Medium bodied and built to age while slowly revealing additional high toned aromas of underbrush, herbs, chocolate and anise flavors with exposure to air, it is reminiscent of its Burgundian Pommard inspirations. Critical Acclaim W&S92Wine & SpiritsDavid Low makes this wine from a vineyard southeast of Boonville; it’s a full-bodied pinot noir that gains its textural richness from fruit tannins. Those tannins are mellow and yielding while holding some elasticity and snap. The fruit is spicy, peppery and fragrant, chewy with cherry- and cranberry-skin flavor. Smoky goodness for roast salmon.
