2021 Angeline Pinot Noir Reserve Mendocino by Martin Ray

Winemaker Notes

Crafted from hillside Mendocino County vineyards, our Pinot Noir offers notes of blackberry, cherry tart, dried currants, and touches of mace. Weighted with rich fruit and bramble, with a trace of dried Aleppo pepper, which carries over silky tannins and wet stone.
