Kanzler Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2021

WA94: The 2021 Pinot Noir Kanzler Vineyard is the inaugural release of this single vineyard from Senses. Matured for 10 months in about one-third new French oak, it has a deep core of blackberry and cherry on the nose, with slowly emerging nuances of charcuterie, woodsmoke, toast and floral tones. The medium-bodied palate is powerful yet charming, with highly concentrated fruit, plush tannins and a long, juicy finish. It really opens up with time in the glass and will benefit from an hour or two in a decanter. 380 cases were made.
