TeachWorth Winery Napa Valley Pinot Noir 2018, California
Ruby in color with medium intensity.
Fruity nose of red and blue fruits with light wood, chocolates, spices, licorice and herbs.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and fruit forward with cooked cherries, plums, light oak, chocolates, licorice, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee and herbs.
Nice finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 8 year old Pinot Noir from Napa Valley is drinking at the end of its peak. Complex and engaging. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Rich and fruit forward.
Fully resolved now, and would not get any better from this point. The alcohol is well integrated by now.
Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself as a sipping wine.
Pinot Noir grapes were aged in French oak barrels for 11 months.
14.75% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$60 (at release).

This is a very enjoyable Pinot Noir from Napa Valley. Easy drinking and spicy with red and blue fruits, oak, red candy, vanilla, licorice, light alcohol, tobacco, light vegetables, spices and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate and well balanced with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Loved the nose too.
Still young, but very enjoyable now. I need to try it again in 5 years.
I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

This is an impressive Pinot Noir from Napa Valley. Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel. Gentle and elegant.
Nicely balanced and still young, although very enjoyable right now. A little hot right now and I'd love to try it again in 3 years.
I let it open in the glass, and after 15 minutes it came to itself. I enjoyed the tangy spicy finish.
Nice to sip on all by itself or with food. I paired it with Brie cheese and crackers.
