Summer Dreams - Stargazing Pinot Noir 2022 (750ml) GigondasGlimmering in the glass like a polished ruby stone, splashes of red berry fruit linger with cedar and sandalwood. Medium bodied and electric with energy, bursts of dark fruit, earthy accents, and floral notes are framed by firm, fine grained tannins and a racy backbone that finishes long and tingly. Spicy, complex, sensational. 100% new French oak, 20% in puncheons. Whole berries 100% destemmed and fermented in a mix of new and used French oak
The palate is light and delicate with mouthwatering red fruit flavors and refreshing acidity
The palate has a very impressive build of ripe dark-fruit and chocolate flavors
compact shape and reserved flavor profile
gravel and menthol
These components tend to have bitter elements which in the taste of Vya Sweet are balanced with sweetness
because the wine is light
and after the technically perfect but soulless wines of the Pitiot-era
the 2023 punches way above its modest price point
where aromas of berries and licorice are recognized and joined with those from its aging in barrels such as spices
The age of the vines of the Punta vineyard
with apricot and funk on the nose
the wine unfolds with layers of flavors
