Hidden Bench Locust Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020

Again, similar oak regime as the Pinots above. The Locust Lane has a more herbaceous/floral nose than the other Pinots with fresher red berries, anise/licorice notes, crunchy pomegranate, and integrated spice notes. It's a more muscular wine on the palate with grippy tannins, red cherries, brambly raspberries, anise, dried herbs, fine oak spices and a fresh, finessed finish. Can cellar 7+ years for further development. Score - 94. (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, April 3, 2023) Again, similar oak regime as the Pinots above.
