A truly exemplary Pinot Noir, Heirloom is beautifully balanced, nuanced, and complex. The wine has an inviting freshness, with welcoming, fine-grained tannins, bright acidity, and aromas and flavors that delicately entwine notes of dark black cherry, cola, orange pekoe tea, and delicate chaparral notes of bay laurel, which are interwoven seamlessly and finished with a hint of minerality. With a true buoyancy from the lifted acidity on the palate, this wine presents great structure, a long persistence, and lithe, silky texture. It's certain to age gracefully for the next 5-10 years if cellared properly.
