The 2018 Pinot Noir la Encantada Vineyard has a medium ruby color and pretty aromas of cracked pepper, lavender, cranberry and blueberry, opening to tar, earth and dark spice as it spends time in the glass. The medium-bodied palate is powerful and concentrated with an intense core of dark fruit, seamless acidity, generous, grainy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. (EB)
