2023 Hess Persson Estates Panthera Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast

“This Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir opens with enticing aromas of sarsaparilla, Bing cherry, and ripe wild strawberry. Beneath its inviting first impression lies a layered complexity, where subtle notes of anise and dried sage add depth and intrigue. On the palate, bright summer fruits burst across the mid-palate, seamlessly intertwined with delicate tea nuances and a touch of allspice. Soft, supple tannins carry the flavors into a silky, enduring finish."
