Domaine Carneros Estate Pinot Noir, Napa Valley, USA 2022 Chateau Meyney tangy citrus fruit and plenty

tangy citrus fruit and plenty of spicy oak

with a bold menthol note followed quickly by boysenberry and blackberry compote flavors wrapped in black licorice

intense and fresh on the coolish and complex nose that delivers notes of crushed stones and herbs intermingled with unique fruit aromas that make this an iconic Kamptal wine of which I had a brilliant 1999 the other day

Acidic edge is tamed by textural creaminess

while it remains fresh and lively with well integrated oak

Domaine Carneros Estate Pinot Noir, Napa Valley, USA 2022 Chateau Meyney tangy citrus fruit and plentyVibrant aromas of strawberries, blueberry bush, citrus peel and cassia bark. The palate is medium bodied with finely integrated tannins and bright acidity, showing a plush and generous mouthfeel with underlying tension. Very refined and pure, with a soft touch. 94 Pts James Suckling
