Wonderful breadth, depth, and personality in spades. Afleet incorporates three distinct blocks and whole cluster fermentation to craft a wine with lifted floral notes and pleasantly rustic tannins. Orange blossom and jasmine meld with honeydew, passionfruit candied apple aromas. A juicy mid-palate with subtle earth and black pepper is the result of the stem inclusion during fermentation. The wine finishes smooth and silky with lovely acidity.

94 Points

 "The 2018 Pinot Noir Afleet Estate Vineyard has plenty of spicy, red cherry and mulberry-styled fruits as well as dried flowers, tea, and loamy earth styled nuances. I love its elegance. Medium-bodied, with a light, silky texture, light tannins, and outstanding length, it's beautifully done and will shine on the dinner table over the coming decade or more."
