Old Soul Pinot Noir 2021 (14.5%)

Old Soul Pinot Noir 2021 is a red wine from the Lodi AVA in California, produced by Oak Ridge Winery, the oldest operating winery in Lodi, owned and farmed by the Maggio family since 1934. It is a bright ruby, light-to-medium bodied wine with a soft, lush mouthfeel. The blend is dominated by 77% to 85% Pinot Noir, with small percentages of Petite Sirah, Petit Verdot, Malbec or Zinfandel depending on vintage, and it is matured for up to 14 months in 100% French oak barrels. The nose shows ripe black cherries, raspberry jam, cherry cola, fig and baking spice. The palate brings dark summer berries, plum, brambleberry, mocha and warm vanilla bean, with a smooth finish of toasted oak and soft chocolate-covered berries.
