"Ripe strawberry, orange, oyster shell, lavender and umami aromas. Hints of pine undertones, Medium-bodied with a tight tannin profile that gives it length, tension and depth. Needs three or four years to come together. Best after 2027."

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Ma Danseuse is a total knock-out. Bright, punchy and super-expressive, the 2021 possesses tremendous depth and tons of textural richness. Black cherry, plum, spice and chocolate build in an opulent, layered Pinot Noir that hits all the right notes. Here, too, the oak and overall ripeness is so well done."

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Ma Danseuse has deep, youthfully gregarious scents of black cherry, red berries, blood orange, forest floor and dried lavender with generous spicy undertones. The medium-bodied palate is bursting with juicy fruit, enveloped by velvety tannins, and it finishes very long, layered and spicy. You could enjoy it now for its hedonistic fruit or allow it to reveal more of its foresty, earthy character as it matures over the next 10-15 years. 1,100 cases were made."
