Kendall-Jackson – Pinot Noir 2019 – Outland Ridge, Anderson Valley

The nose is fresh, racy, mineral, precise and reveals a nice finesse of grain and a little stretch. There are notes of bright fresh blackberry, bright dark berries and more lightly bright raspberry combined with delicate touches of blueberry, sap/pine and a subtle hint of fresh vanilla. The palate is fresh, fruity and offers minerality, good definition, gourmandize, acidity, freshness, a little salinity/sapidity and a little terroir crunchiness. On the palate this wine expresses bright blackberry, bright dark berries and more lightly raspberry notes combined with fine hints of violet as well as fine hints of sense of place (local biotop)/sap. Good length. Fine hints of liquorice and a subtle toasted finish.
