The 2019 Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard is an attractive, easygoing wine that will drink well with minimal cellaring. Silky tannins and sweet, perfumed aromatics give the 2019 much of its sheer appeal. Bright red/purplish berry fruit and spice accents linger on the soft, understated finish.

A spearmint aroma meets pomegranate and raspberry jam on the nose of this widely available bottling. There's a rocky grip to the palate, where fresh mint and strawberry sorbet flavors are enhanced by turned loam and dried herb elements.

The value-priced 2019 Pinot Noir Julia's Vineyard sports a ruby hue as well as an impressive nose of spiced cherries and framboise-like fruits, smoked earth, and toasted spices. Beautifully textured, medium-bodied, and elegant, it tastes as if it cost 2-3 times the price.
