2013 Waits-Mast Family Cellars Pinot Noir Mariah Vineyard
Tasting Note:January 06, 2017
Light brick red. Softer raspberries on the nose with wet stones and forest floor backed with stinky and smoked undertone. Low tannins (4/10) and moderate acidity (6/10) but balanced. Intense structure compared to the Oppenlander. Layered palate with tart raspberries, dried red cherries and freshly cracked pepper. Each note on the palate kept developing more depth with air. Medium plus body and long finish.
100% whole berry fermented. Aged for around 16 months in around 25% new French oak.
