The 2021 Pinot Noir La Rinconada R22, matured in 100% new oak, is powerful, dynamic and offers tremendous layering and purity. It opens with intense raspberry, red cherry and pomegranate and goes on to reveal nuances of pipe tobacco, dried herbs and lavender. The medium-bodied palate has a frame of chalky tannins and juicy bursts of acidity structuring its concentrated core of fruit, and it has a long, fragrant finish. You could drink this now or let it develop in the cellar over the next 10-15 years.
