Cattleya Pinot Noir Belly of the Whale 2022
High-toned with a serious, well-balanced profile. It has a dry finish, with dry red fruit and a short finish at the moment, suggesting it will be better in 2–3 years. Aromas of licorice, anise, and spicy notes evoke a festive, Christmas-like character. On the palate, it’s juicy and silky, with a bright, fresh finish. More elegant than expected, with silky raspberry and baking spice flavors.
