Sylvanus Estate Longbow Pinot Noir 2020

In our exclusive Captain's List, we proudly feature the exceptional Longbow Pinot Noir, crafted by the esteemed vintners Christian and Lisa Eddleman of Sylvanus Estate in the renowned Willamette Valley region. This wine consistently exceeds expectations with its remarkable qualities.

Upon pouring, the Longbow Pinot Noir captivates with its striking ruby hue, accompanied by a fragrant bouquet reminiscent of violets and minerals. Delightful nuances of black tea, star anise pastille, and a hint of absinthe grace the mid-palate. Its mid-weight body concludes with a clean, lingering finish, showcasing naturally grippy tannins that promise to evolve into velvety textures and rich red fruit preserves over time.

For those with the patience to cellar, anticipate the development of softer tannins and deeper fruit complexities, complemented by subtle notes of bitter cocoa. We recommend the delightful ritual of opening a bottle annually over the next 3-7 years to witness the wine's graceful evolution in the bottle. To enhance your enjoyment, we suggest pairing this exquisite Pinot Noir with dishes such as fatty fish, roasted chicken, or flavorful pasta creations.
