From Aubert's warmest site, the Ritchie Pinot Noir has a brooding interplay of dark fruits and organic aromatics. The palate offers profound concentration, with notable natural acid for bottle aging.
The opulent color and vibrant hues at the edge of the glass are indicative of the health of the wine and clonal material. Perfumed aromatics of strawberry oil and cherry compote offer a dynamic array of ripe red fruits. Time reveals secondary aromas of mint, freshly tilled soil and licorice. The palate is round and opulent with supple tannins and integrated acidity. Suggested drinking window is 2017 through 2026.
