Russian River Valley
2021 Bootlegger's Hill Pinot Noir
This one-time moonshiner site, deep in the Sonoma Coast hills, was planted by Charlie Chenoweth to a large array of high-quality Pinot Noir selections. Deeply hued with purple rim, there is an opulent baking spice to the nose overlain with candied strawberries. Textured in layers, a succulent thread of acidity runs through the broad and dense palate. A hint of umami and bay laurel add intrigue. The finish offers a strong base note of well-sculpted tannins. Bootlegger’s Hill produced one of its finest vintages in 2021.
