The 2021 Pinot Noir X Novo Vineyard blossoms in the glass with seductive sweet florals and autumnal spices complementing vivid black cherry. Its silken textures and brisk acidity impress further, casting polished wild berries across the palate as rosy inner florals form toward the close. It tapers off pure and crisp as stimulating mineral tones add a tactile feel and dusty tannins fade. The X Novo is simply stunning and should enjoy a long, broad drinking window.
