Resting for 10 months in 33% new French oak, the gorgeous 2021 Goodrich Pinot Noir from Elk Cove sports a glistening medium ruby core with a light purple rim and generously gifts aromas of black raspberries, cedary herbs, fennel fonds, and hints of wet autumn leaves. More savory on the palate than its siblings, it’s loaded with those wonderful earthy, spicey, and saline notes that hit perfectly on the back palate. Tannins are crunchy but sweet, while the mouthwatering acidity takes it all home.
