The 2017 has a medium ruby tint to it. The tea and coffee notes are still there on the nose, but not as strongly. It is savory, but not funky this time around. The black raspberry fruit has a chance to shine. The palate is dark and a bit brawny, with enough tannins for pot roast or pork chops. The wine finishes long and savory, with that dark fruit trailing at the end.

This is the 2017 Veramonte Ritual Casablanca Valley Pinot Noir that I had last night.

On the nose the aromas are those of over cooked fruit, cherry, raspberry, stewed prunes, licorice, vanilla, oak and dark soil.

On the palate is a little bit of its saving grace, there are notes of cherry, raspberry, red currant, dark plume, spice, mushroom and dark soil.

Thenwine is medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel, medium acidity and fine tannins that moves into a medium fruit earthy finish. Have a wonderful coming New Year and stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷

Beautifully balanced. Cool climate character. Strawberry, fresh raspberry, vanilla, Forrest floor. Burgundian in style. Incredible value.

Beautifully developed into stewed cherries and raspberries with leather and anise. Bright. Long finish with vanilla and oak character well integrated. This is fantastic.
