The 2019 Block 6 is sourced from one of the later ripening sites on the Zena Crown Vineyard. The 2019 Block 6 has the beauty and harshness of early spring with an extremely tight entry that explodes with nuclear power on the finish. Aromas of molasses, lilac, cranberry and dried up mud puddle sediment lead to flavors of lingonberry, dried cherry, cedar, and spice. Taught tannins crisscross in a gingham pattern across the palate that will reward aging. Block 6 Pinot Noir exhibits amazing elegance and power.
