Aston Estate X Label Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2018 750 ML
A small step up over the 2017, the 2018 Pinot Noir X Label plays in the same style with its wild, gamey, exotic aromas and flavors. Lots of peppery black fruits, scorched earth, roasted herbs, and gamey notes give way to a medium to full-bodied Pinot Noir with building tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It should benefit from another year in bottle and drink well for at least 5-7 years, if not a good decade.

Stunningly rich and complex with voluminous fruit aromas and flavors, tremendous body and silky mouthfeel, this wine is the epitome of the New World Pinot Noir. The wine offers abundant aromas of ripe fruit including red currants, wild red berries, and black cherries. Focusing on the always-elegant Dijon clones, this Pinot Noir is fruit-driven with a soft smokiness and sweet smell of night-bloom jasmine. The creamy texture and refreshing acidity create an incredibly pleasurable mouth feel that leads to a long and satisfying finish. 830 cases produced.
