Gantenbein, Pinot Noir

Gantenbein, Pinot NoirThe deep and homogeneous, ruby colored 2018 Pinot Noir offers a pure, fresh and intense yet elegant and complex bouquet of perfectly ripe red fruits intertwined with toasty and saline or flinty notes. Silky, lush and sweet but also highly refined and elegant on the palate, this is a generous, warm, fleshy and concentrated, sweet and charming Pinot with great aging potential. This is an extraordinary Pinot from an extraordinary vintage. This is tight

Built for the long haul
