The 2019 Pinot Noir X Novo Vineyard has alluring aromas of crushed cranberries and wild blackberries with wafts of smoked meats, dried violets and iron. Silty, bright and weightless, the palate manages a ton of intensity and layering for such an ethereal style, which is perfumed and less reductive on approach than the other Pinot Noirs in the Walter Scott portfolio this vintage, suggesting it will be at its best over the next decade.
