Timbre "The Rhythm" Pinot Noir - Riverbench Vineyard 2023

This medium red Pinot Noir opens with inviting aromas of raspberry, cherry, baking spices, with a hint of Santa Maria Funk-a signature of the region-adding charming complexity. On the palate, it delivers classic Pinot Noir flavors of red berries, cranberry, and licorice, all wrapped in a velvety texture that tempers the wine's acidity, leading to an extended finish accented by cloves and pipe tobacco. Though it’s enjoyable right upon opening, patience is rewarded as the wine breathes, gradually revealing deeper layers of complexity. This is a young wine with the potential to develop beautifully over the years, best enjoyed now through 2030 and beyond..
