2021 Holloran Pinot Noir La Chenaie
Tasting notes
The wine pours a gorgeous deep crimson red, with notes of red cherry, strawberry and grilled citrus emerging from the glass. The palate presents rich black cherry flavors, with a persistent spiciness. The finish coats the mouth, with bright acidity guiding it through its length as it extends.
Enjoy with Roast Turkey and all the fixings, or try Chicken with Cherry Marsala Sauce.
DRINKING Drink 2024 – 2036, decanting recommended in early years.

2021 Pinot Noir La Chenaie
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, then hand sorted, and destemmed 100%, and fermented primarily with cultivated yeasts. After a gentle pressing, we aged it 18 months in French oak barrels, 8% new.
