Peirson Meyer 2021 Pinot Noir Miller Vineyard   

2021 Peirson Meyer Pinot Noir Miller Vineyard, Russian River Valley

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 97+ Points

This is a concentrated, big-scale Pinot Noir, with lots of character to suggest that a fine future lies ahead. The aromas are a rich, almost heady, mix of sour red cherry, cranberry sauce, black raspberry, sumac berry and pink peppercorn scents, with emerging notes of cardamom and baking spice in the background. It is both weighty and zesty in the mouth, where tannin and mineral undercurrents bring textural firmness and subtly tighten the fruit expression. The finish is very long and the finishing flavors prove a faithful replica of the aromas. If delicious now with Prime Rib or roast duck, it is two or three years from its full expression. 150 cases produced.
