About the Wine
The 2018 vintage produced robust, “statement” Pinot Noir. Marsh Estate is true to the vintage hype.
Aromas of deep black raspberry fruit are nicely moderated by a touch of bright strawberry/rhubarb nicely wrapped into lovely Italian plum essences. Classic Yamhill-Carlton spices complex on the nose with black peppercorn and delicate marjoram.
The flavor is concentrated from beginning to a long ending. Look for dense raspberry/hibiscus flower, a hint of cranberry sauce fruit, leading to a silky textured black cherry, Italian plum fruit in the middle palate. Yes, the “tell” of Yamhill-Carlton AVA comes through again with black pepper spice. The balance of fruit, spice, and texture sail on and on for a beautiful finish.
