Green Truck Cellars Pinot Noir Napa Valley

Green Truck Cellars Pinot Noir Napa Valley Wine Details
Price:

Description: This wine is my brightest, prettiest, and best wine yet. Still “juicy,” (a common descriptor of the Green Truck style), there is less earth in this vintage, and more intensity at the higher end of the spectrum: red fruits and floral characteristics. The tannins are particularly in balance on this wine, supporting the overall structure, but not burdensome on the palate. The Hungarian oak, from the Budapesti Kadar cooperage, contributes to the creaminess of the mouthfeel, and adds its signature Christmas spice to the nose and mid-pallet. Although delicate, this strong backbone of this wine certainly makes it eligible for an additional four to six years of aging from the vintage date.
