Donelan Tripp's Block Perli Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013

On the nose, Kirsch, black cherry, and angostura bitters rise to the foreground in a new way, yet the classic forest-floor and baking-spice components we love from this vineyard add to its background, making the nose complex and dynamic.

The wine finishes with some of the silkiest tannins we have seen from this site, making this vintage of Tripp’s Block one of the best we have had the pleasure of making. The intensity of the 2013 may make it hard to cellar, but with all of its structure and verve, many delicious years lie ahead for this wine.
