2020 Bachelder “Wismer-Parke - Wild West-End” Pinot Noir

One of the top Pinots of the vintage, the Wismer-Parke “Wild West-End” is defined by an incredible purity and elegance. Made from a single block of “mystery clone” Pinot Noir, this wine is absolutely fascinating. An exuberant nose of bing cherry, raspberry, fresh herbs, licorice, tomato leaves and cedar box. The palate is at the very next level with impressive precision and freshness. Flavours of red cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant and pomegranate are bursting out of my glass while a herbaciousness brings along the gentle, fresh and layered mid-palate, which also includes red licorice and sandalwood. The finish highlights fine and refined tannins, Chinese five-spice and incredible complexity. This Pinot Noir is an absolute rock star! (CWC, 9/2/23). 73 cases made.
