Evesham Wood Cuvee J Pinot Noir, Eola-Amity Hills, USA 2021 Hidalgo-La Gitana offering juicy raspberry and candiedThis textured, elegant reserve sees 25% new French oak, not a lot but more than the rest of the Pinots in the winery's portfolio. Berries, dust, mocha, stone and textural highlights from the proprietary yeast all come together to weave a seamless, intriguing palate with elegance and length.
