The 2021 Pinot Noir Ma Danseuse was made using destemmed grapes and matured in 40% to 50% new French oak. Tasted as a finished barrel sample a week before it was racked to tank and bottled, it is already harmonious and perfumed. Medium ruby-purple, it has a deep core of red cherries, cranberry sauce, blood orange and potpourri on the nose, opening to pure wafts of forest floor and lavender as it spends time in the glass. The medium-bodied palate explodes with concentrated, spicy red fruit and boasts loads of spicy, autumnal accents. Silky and mouthwatering, it has a long, latent finish that suggests it will develop gracefully in the cellar over the next 10-15 years. 1,100 cases were made and will be released in July of 2023.
