Brittan Vineyards Cygnus Block Pinot Noir 2021

Wine Critic Reviews

Owen Bargreen (96): The 2021 ‘Cygnus Block’ comes from this southeast facing edge in the Brittan Estate Vineyard that was planted in 2008 to Swan selection. Once on the nose this exudes class with white pepper dusted huckleberry, marionberry, peat moss and suggestions of wet stone. The palate is soft and refined throughout the drinking experience. Showing no rough edges with a brilliant core of black fruits and stony minerals, this is a downright classy Pinot Noir that has a long life ahead of it. Enjoy this medium to full-bodied beauty now and over the next fifteen plus years.

Wine Enthusiast (93): The wine's aromatics channel Doc Holliday whispering, “I'm your huckleberry.” Huckleberries dominate this aromatic set, joined by vanilla and holster leather. Tart blueberries meet sweet Sungold tomatoes on the palate, along with an earthy blackberry-tea flavor. Great acidity here, with velvety tannins.
