Producing a shimmering medium neon-purple core with a light blue rim in the glass, the 2021 Estate Pinot Noir from Brittan starts with dusty herb characteristics on the nose. After a few minutes, fruity red plum, black raspberry, and Blood orange zest aromas appear. Sweet, silky tannins and lemony acidity pop on the palate while it finishes with a lovely allspice note on the back of the tongue. Aged in 23% new French oak for 10 months gives it some lovely structure and sweet spice tones. About 245 cases were made.
