Description

The Toad Hollow Monterey 2021 Pinot Noir grabs attention with its appealing color of a Red Delicious apple. Heady aromatics are of strawberry, licorice, and the spicy perfume of carnations. The palate is framed with a broad creamy texture showcasing vibrant flavors familiar to the Pinot Noir varietal. Small sweet raspberries and baking spice flavors with a slight note of almond make this wine ready to enjoy.In 2021 Monterey had an excellent and long growing season. The vineyards were covered in an extended marine layer while the rest of California was hot. The fog moved to the coast in September offering two weeks of warm weather before harvest. The 2021 Pinots from the region show refined flavor development.
