2018 Hartford Court Pinot Noir Docker Hill Vineyard Mendocino County

This has really improved over the last year. Bright red color with faint translucence. Lovely nose of lavender and cherry. Bright, precise, crisp fruit, black cherries, cracked black pepper. Fine tannins, great structure, bright acidity, great balance. Finishes long with dark fruits and great acidity. Lovely wine and I think it will need another 2 years to peak, then drink it for another 3 years (or more) past that. "A-"
