2023 Merk Vineyard Pinot Noir

13.2 % Alc. - Intense, but Pretty

The mild climate and sandy soils of Carmel Valley produce a deep but vibrant style of Pinot Noir. The nose is seductively perfumed with layers of incense and spice, and the palate walks the line between red and black fruits. A similar juicy intensity to last year, but softer acidity and more mature skin tannins make it ready to share right now.
