"The 2018 Pinot Noir Block M saw a bunch of stems (75% whole clusters) and aging all in neutral oak. Lots of stem influence as well as ripe red and black fruits, forest floor, and gamey, spicy notes emerge from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, it offers ripe, present tannins, good acidity, and all the right components. Give bottles 2-3 years and enjoy over the following decade."
