Opaquely brick in tone, the 2021 Abino Hill Block pinot noir presents a nuanced nose of dark cherries with hints of anise, coffee and spices. The midpalate is lush, folding into an ample, refreshing finish with fine-grained tannins. It uniquely captures the distict characteristics of this block in its eighteenth leaf.2019 Yiayia
