2021 Holloran Pinot Noir "Cuvée L"
Tasting notes
The wine pours a lovely deep burgundy color, with a nose of red cherry, cranberry, clove & cinnamon. On the palate, cherry & raspberry flavors transition to white pepper & grilled citrus. The finish coats the sides & back of the mouth with ripe tannins and a spicy palate that lingers. Enjoy with Reverse Seared Pork Chops with Apple Cider Pan Sauce.
Drinking 2025 – 2040, decanting recommended.

2021 Le Pavillon Pinot Noir Cuvee “L” The 2021 growing season was warmer than the 20- year average. The ‘heat dome’ experienced in late June (temps over 115 for a couple days) had no significant effect as the berries had just set. We picked by hand, hand sorted, destemmed 100%, and fermented primarily with cultivated yeasts. After a gentle pressing, we aged it 18 months in French oak barrels, 8% new. Cuvee “L” represents the three best barrels from these 50 year old vines at Le Pavillon, from an excellent vintage.
