Block 43 Bien Nacido Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020

9.3

2020 vintage. Last tasted 7.3.24 (9.3) and 7.23.24 (9.3). Still weird mix of pretty and ugly/grounded and flighty with medium/medium-heavy body but it works with the journey and the finish. 9.3.25. — a month ago

Nice to taste this Santa Maria Valley bottling alongside the Sta. Rita Hills one. Riper, darker fruits profile but there is still freshness here. Oak is more prominent. Earthier as well with light mushroom and tea leaf notes. Plush palate.
This is a more complex and deeper wine. But I prefer the Sanford bottling slightly. — 3 years ago
