Ancien 2022 Carmel Valley River Ranch Pinot Noir

Spice, tea, and plum and blackberry aromas dance atop currants and boysenberry pie.  The opulence continues with secondary notes of chocolate and black tea that lead to satisfying elegant finish revealing jasmine.  The finish is mouthwatering and long with presenting umami, soy, and Asian spice.  Planted to the same special cuttings as our block at the Toyon Farm in Carneros, they are a joy tasting side by side, illustrating the profound influence of terroir.
