The beautiful and mild 2019 growing season let us hang our Angel Camp until near the end of our Pinot Noir picks. In the nose, the hallmark spice box aromas lead the way, with sandalwood and cinnamon stick enrobing the cherry and plum fruit. Earthy notes of beet and rhubarb provide some added complexity. There’s a sense of harmonious balance even in the aromatics, which is carried through in the mouth, which is rich and round. Cherry pie flavors are complemented with strawberry, baking spices, and a touch of black tea.
