Carneros Napa
2020 Moses-Hall Vineyard Carneros Napa Pinot Noir
2020 produced yields below 1.5 tons to the acre, the lowest yields ever at Moses-Hall. The very small berry size produced a dense and rich wine, brimming with plush, finely grained tannins. The vineyard’s signature notes of cinnamon, lavender, mulled cherries, and dark chocolate form complex layers that vie for attention as they linger into a plush and resolved finish. A slight note of sea spray hints at the proximity to the ocean. This is, perhaps, the finest vintage of Moses-Hall to date.
