Vaughn Duffy 2021 Pinot Noir Fay's Reserve   

2021 Vaughn Duffy Pinot Noir Fay’s Reserve, Sonoma County

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 95+ Points

This cuvee is produced annually from the winery’s four best barrels, and this young example well represents Sonoma’s vibrant 2021 vintage. The nose is both pretty and generously fruity and it focuses on scents of dark sour cherry, red raspberry and lingonberry jam. It is subtly tongue coating in the mouth, where tannins and bright zest tighten up a deep core of cherry and red berry. The lingering finish is fruit dominant, yet sports pretty undercurrents of canela and baking spice. If well balanced for dinner service already, the wine wants another two years or so to show at its very best. 100 cases made.
