99 West 99 West Pinot Noir 2021 750ml

The 2021 Pinot Noir opens with woodland herbs and berries, joining cedar hints. This is round with cooling acidity and crisp red berry fruits giving way to violet inner florals. Long with a licorice tinge, this finishes with a pleasantly bitter edge, calling the taster back to the glass for more. (Eric Guido)

This is earthy, with notes of spice box and black licorice and a ripe berry fruit backbone. Medium-bodied, juicy and pretty straightforward, with crunchy acidity and a flavorful finish. Drink now. (James Suckling)

A bright cherry aroma is matched with notes of hay and aged balsamic vinegar. The wine’s tangy sweet-tart raspberry and peach flavors glide along a rich, full mouthfeel. Plush tannins, with modest acidity. Good value here. (Michael Alberty)
