X Novo X-OMNI Pinot Noir 2021
92pts Vinous Media
The 2021 Pinot Noir X Omni Vineyard is wild, lifting from the glass like a basket of ripe berries, complemented by hints of cola, sweet spice and violet. This is juicy in character, with masses of ripe red and blue fruits that swirl throughout as vibrant acidity maintains fantastic energy. Sour citrus tones add lovely inner tension. An air of lavender lingers as the 2021 finishes long, gently tannic and staining, balancing a saturation of primary fruit. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2030
Mostly destemmed and fermented as whole berries in open-top tanks with minimal punch-downs. 18 months in approximately 60% new oak barrels, again perfectly integrated without a noticeable impact.
Our Tasting Note: Med+ ruby core, still transparent. The med+ nose is like a bouquet of flowers, sweet lingonberry, acai, blueberry, cola. A complex and thought provoking nose. Med+ body, medium tannin, intense, dense but very elegant and finished palate, with a long, fresh, complex.
