Red cherry in color, this wine is reminiscent of the 2008 Silice. This is a lovely vintage for this perennial spicy, floral, and sweet Pinot Noir. It has an aromatic bouquet boasting of sea breeze salinity, Christmas baking, and potpourri spices of clove, cinnamon, ginger, anise, and pepper. There are floral and herbal notes of roses and wildflowers, as well as a sweet mushroom meatiness and some stem spiciness. The Silice Pinot Noir is always youthfully structured, but the 2018 is suave, seamless, and glides over the palate in a swath of ripe, sweet, and dark fruit expressions. The fine tannins at the finish promise a wonderful future for this wine over the next 5-8 years. Drink Now - 2028. Alcohol: 13.5% - Josh Bergström's Notes
