2022 Senses 'MCM88' Pinot Noir

Medium to deep ruby-purple in color, the 2022 MCM88 Pinot Noir rolls out of the glass with expressive notes of chocolate covered cherries, wild blueberries, and camphor, plus fragrant underlying hints of lilacs, cloves, and cardamom. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers concentrated black and blue fruit layers with loads of floral accents and a velvety texture, finishing long and fragrant.

This deeply colored Pinot leans toward the powerful side. The nose gives bright black cherry, forest floor and black tea aromas, while the decadent palate offers cherry-plum flavors that swirl in a kaleidoscope with tangerine acidity, cinnamon and clove through a minute-plus finish. Patience will be rewarded here.
