2022 Three Furies ‘The Angry One’ Pinot Noir Santa Lucia Highlands

$84.95

Deep blood red with a vibrant crimson hue. Stunningly pure aromas of crushed pomegranate, raspberry conserve and ripe black cherries. Touches of sweet mint, sage, slate and baguette crust chime in on this already harmonious and generous nose. The initial impression is of tension and power driving through the palate, fresh and full blooded, braced with fine acidity and firm yet unobtrusive tannin backbone. The flavors very much reflect the aromatics. Once the initial intensity of the structure passes, the ripe red fruits reveal themselves with dense, ripe fruit tannins layered with some earthy French oak complexity. The finish is like a pool of fruit with an underlying chalky tannin floor. Pure, precise, dense and vibrant; this wine is still a baby. Our favorite rendition of The Angry One thus far, it is a stunningly powerful representation of everything great about Santa Lucia Highlands fruit.
