The 2019 Departure is selected from the best barrels from all of Elevee’s four vineyard sites and is aged for 11 months on 77% new French oak. An eye-popping display of neon ruby at the core moving to a bluish rim, this stunning Pinot Noir showcases notes of red plum, black cherry, ground nutmeg, black licorice, and just a hint of powdered baking chocolate. It’s more lean on the palate with flavors of macerated strawberry and just s smooch of dried poultry herbs. Tannins are silky and on the medium side, while the acidity is elevated and mouthwatering. 200 cases made
