Deovlet, Zotovich Family Vineyard Pinot Noir

Deovlet, Zotovich Family Vineyard Pinot NoirThe 2020 Pinot Noir Zotovich Family Vineyard was matured for 12 months in oak and an additional six months in sandstone vessels. It has layered aromas of red cherry, cranberry, orange peel, tea leaves and wild fennel, plus earthy undertones. The light bodied palate is soft and bright with delicate, detailed flavors and a long, nuanced finish. It's easygoing and ready to drink without sacrificing complexity. 115 cases were made.

the wine fills your palate

intensity and focused power on the refined

Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal

leather and spice flavors prevail as this tightens up on the finish

licorice and espresso all meld together

as it can be unforgiving upon release

mineral and candied lemon peel

(from 8 different lieux-dits that total a whopping 5 ha)

It is less remarkable overall

The refined middle weight flavors are also cool and energetic with very fine depth and length on the balanced finish that is unusually dry for the vintage

and I particularly like the purity of expression
