Goodfellow Family Cellars Heritage Blend No. 15 Whistling Ridge Pinot Noir 2019 (750ML)

96 VM / 17 JR

Translucent ruby. Expansive, mineral- and spice-accented red fruit preserve, potpourri and incense aromas are joined by hints of cola and botanical herbs as the wine opens up. Alluringly sweet and energetic on the palate, offering concentrated raspberry, cherry cola, star anise and candied rose flavors that slowly unfold through the back half. Smooth, polished tannins build slowly on the impressively long, focused finish, which strongly echoes the red fruit, floral and spice notes. This suave wine will age gracefully on its balance.—Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media

Palest ruby in colour. Rosy and delicate on the nose with mandarin blossom. The palate packs concentration and length but still dances so lightly across the palate. Lithe tannin and elevated acidity. Very elegant. (SCJ) - Jancis Robinson
