2018 Brittan Vineyards Pinot Noir Basalt Block McMinnville

2018 Brittan Vineyards Pinot Noir Basalt Block McMinnville image

(96 Points) The 2018 Pinot Noir Basalt Block is tense and earthy, with broody aromas of crushed red cherries, blackberries and plums and ever-shifting accents of shiitake, fir needles, dark chocolate, licorice and violet. The light-bodied palate is chalky and refreshing with delicately styled, saline-driven fruit at this stage and a very long, ethereal finish. Although it feels youthfully coiled, it blossoms beautifully over several days, suggesting it will benefit from several years in bottle and be long-lived in the cellar.
