2019 Galante Vineyards Almond Flat Pinot Noir
We are excited to be partnering with Jack Galante and his team at Galante Vineyards again and it was a lot of fun to taste this wine. This is the 2019 Galante Vineyards Almond Flat Pinot Noir which is from estate fruit and 100% Pinot. Bright aromas of crushed strawberries and orange zest initially with mushroom and dried herb following closely. Cranberry and strawberry dominate the palate, joined by pleasant but not overpowering earthy and slightly smoky flavors leading to a long finish with modest and welcome tannin. This wine is very young and you will have many years of enjoyment. We tend to crush on wines that are estate-fruit driven and these higher altitude grapes create a memorable tasting experience with this offering. The price is right and this wine would pair very well with a herbal, roasted chicken dinner with carrots. This is absolutely lovely!
