Rated 95
Fermented with 25% whole clusters and aged in new barrels, the 2020 Pinot Noir Knox Alexander is similarly light ruby-hued and has a spicy, complex nose of ripe red fruit, spicy herbs, leather, and savory flowers. This carries to a medium-bodied Pinot Noir that’s beautifully balanced, has an elegant, seamless mouthfeel, perfectly resolved tannins, and a great finish. I love its overall purity, balance, and length, and I would expect it to evolve gracefully over the coming 10-15 years. It might be the finest vintage of this cuve I’ve tasted. Drinking Window 2024-2039.
