Ex Post Facto Pinot Noir 2024
14.5% alcohol, cork, Sta Rita Hills/US.
This was tasted on the Mattinson in California trail.
Wow this is so fresh, so fruity, so lifted and lovely. The fun-nest pinot you'll find. Smoky reduction helps to tuck it in, pepper and spice notes add breadth, and some gently macerated notes add bass to a high treble, high floral style of wine. Would love to hook into this. Drinkability of this wine is off the charts. 91 points.
