Tasting Notes

WA92

Coming from southeast-facing shale soils and an extremely cool spot that’s 4 miles west of Cargassachi Vineyard (which is already out there), the 2011 Pinot Noir Evening Land Tempest is a thrilling Pinot Noir that shows the house style with its overall elegant, deft profile. Exhibiting brilliant aromas and flavors of crushed flowers, underbrush, rose petal and an alluring sappiness, it has the most texture and depth of the lineup and has fine, elegant tannin framing the finish. As with Sashi’s other releases, the buzzwords are detail, energy and finesse more than richness or power. Enjoy this beauty over the coming 7-8 years. Drink now-2021.
