Ocean 8 Aylward Pinot Noir 2023

Light and bright ruby with a purple tinge at the rim. Black cherry, forest floor and capocollo aromatics. A fuller and more powerful style, ripe black cherries are the driver with curing pork and earthy undertones adding layers of complexity. Good length, stays powerful and focused by sandy tannins right to the long finish. Best served with food to match its power. 93 points, the Real Review.
