Martin Woods Jessie James Vineyard Pinot Noir, Eola-Amity Hills, USA 2021 Casa Do Sol Froina The NV Fino Gran BarqueroThe Jessie James site is east facing, meaning it's shaded from the afternoon heat and may take a bit longer to ripen, but it's positioned in a rain shadow, and so remains protected into the early autumn. Aromatics of sous bois, pine bough and notes of sweet early season strawberry lead into a palate of sappy black and red berry fruits, notes of black tea all framed by fine tannin and a wonderful structure. 95 pts Decanter
