Wine Description
Niner Winery is proud to present the Niner Wine Estates Edna Valley Pinot Noir 2021 , a reflection of the mastery and dedication of winemaker Molly Bohlman. This wine is an exquisite example of how the unique conditions of Jespersen Ranch contribute to creating a distinctive and memorable Pinot Noir.
The 2021 vintage was shaped by a cooler and drier climate than usual in the region, which extended the growing period and allowed the grapes to develop rich and nuanced flavors. The meticulous process began with the hand-harvesting of grapes between September 18th and October 22nd. Following the harvest, the grapes were fermented in small, open-top stainless steel tanks, emphasizing a small-lot approach that defines the craft of Niner wines. With a third of the lots undergoing native fermentation and half including stem inclusions to boost complexity, the wine was aged for 10 months in a mix of French oak barrels and a small concrete tank.
The Niner Wine Estates Edna Valley Pinot Noir 2021 offers a vivid garnet color that catches the eye. As you approach the glass, you’re greeted with enticing aromas of raspberry and red plum, highlighted by subtle hints of anise and fennel, which create a complex and inviting bouquet. The aroma leads into a taste profile that is equally engaging, featuring layers of pomegranate and raspberry accented with a touch of sage oil. This combination offers a clean and brisk palate experience that is rounded out by the delicate tannins and length introduced by the whole-cluster fermentation component.
This Niner wine also benefits from the varied conditions of the 2021 growing season at Jespersen Ranch, including the foggy mornings and coastal breezes ideal for cultivating Pinot Noir. The dry and cool conditions allowed for an extended hang time, resulting in a wine that showcases deep flavors of dark fruits like black cherry, set against a backdrop of floral notes, black tea, and a wet clay minerality.
The critical acclaims for the Edna Valley Pinot Noir 2021 are notable, with Wine Enthusiast awarding it 92 points. Reviewers have praised its rounded raspberry and red plum aromas, and the palate that combines juiciness with brisk, clean flavors of pomegranate and raspberry, all beautifully integrated with a splash of sage oil.
Overall, the Niner Pinot Noir is a superb representation of the care and expertise that Niner Wine Estates brings to winemaking. It is not only a delightful drink now but promises to evolve and mature beautifully over the next five years. Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or new to the world of wines, this Edna Valley Pinot Noir is sure to impress with its balance, complexity, and the distinctive expression of its terroir.
