    Van Duzer 2019 Flagpole Block Pinot Noir (Van Duzer Corridor)

    Forest floor, blackcap raspberries and lilac aromas are joined by an earthy vanilla note that reminds me of old books siting on a dusty shelf. The flavors of tart red raspberries and lemon mix nicely with light touches of bittersweet dark chocolate and saline. This almost perfectly balanced wine's elevated acidity and sturdy tannins suggest a long life ahead. Enjoy the Flagpole Block from now until 2030–2032.
