Montalto Single Vineyard 'Tuerong' Pinot Noir 2022

The charm of the Tuerong Pinot Noir begins with its intricate nose. Lavender florals and pan juices, reminiscent of au jus, combine with more familiar fruit aromas of strawberry and blood orange. The palate is savory blend of fennel seed and licorice along with iodine and root vegetables courtesy of the whole bunch component. There is red fruit here too, and some intense blood orange leading to a savory line on the finish. It’s a wine that invites you to revisit it again and again to contemplate its evolution over time.
