Maude Pinot Noir 2022
The Wine
Aged for 10 months in French oak barriques, this wine boasts a dark red color with black-tinted edges and a faint red-purple hue. A bouquet of spicy dark cherry, anise, and strawberry aromas blend with hints of toasty cedar, forest floor, and subtle clove. The palate is light-bodied and savory, featuring flavors of dark cherry and anise atop a spicy foundation of toasty cedar, forest floor, and dried herbs. It concludes with a fresh finish, fine-grained tannins, and a complex, spicy aftertaste.
