R. Stuart Pinot Noir Matteri V '18

This library-release Pinot Noir shows beautiful evolution, now offering garnet hues and complex aromas of dried cherry, tea leaves, and forest floor. The palate is elegant and fresh - flavors of fig, cocoa, and a touch of earth glide across resolved tannins (93 points). Aged 16 months in French oak (40% new), it's at perfect drinking window now. Decant for duck breast or truffle dishes.
