The 2023 Barlow Lane Pinot Noir opens with black cherry and raspberry preserves, layered with subtle threads of vanilla, allspice, and a hint of leather. On the palate, the wine shows excellent balance between richness and finesse. A core of deep red fruit, cherry compote, strawberry reduction and ripe plum is framed by polished tannins and a graceful acid backbone. Nuanced notes of black tea, toasted baking spices, and just a whisper of earthy leather provide complexity and length, culminating in a smooth, persistent finish.
