Alexana Revana Vineyard Estate Pinot Noir, Dundee Hills, USA 2021 Alentejano IG close-knit acid structure

close-knit acid structure

The mouth is supple with a mineral and elegant finish

all framed by powerful yet well-balanced tannins

There is even better volume and richness if not the same refinement to the punchy and powerful medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a lingering and moderately rustic finale

The grapes high extract carries these impressions onto a vivid palate which remains light

Alexana Revana Vineyard Estate Pinot Noir, Dundee Hills, USA 2021 Alentejano IG close-knit acid structureFrom the dry farmed Revana site, with tremendous soil diversity in the Dundee Hills. There are pungent, haunting earthy aromas of mushroom, soy and dark fleshy red and black fruits. The palate is fairly fruit forward and focused, with notes of black tea mingling with warm red and black fruits. There is a touch of perceptible heat on the finish. 91 Pts Decanter
