2023 Coulee Estate Pinot Noir
Josh's Notes
Coulee has such unique terroir that shines through. Aromatically red-red fruit, shades of the red volcanic soil on the upper blocks which most of this wine hails from, and hints of red rose petals. Subtle clues of black tea and baking spice. The wine has even more energy than the other wines with more finesse to the tannin structure. Perfectly framed oak and an ultra long finish. The site is so complex and it resonates in the glass. Decant now and drink through 2045.
