Tightrope

2021 Tendril TightRope Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes

TightRope is a substantial, deeply flavored Pinot Noir with notes of black cherry, cassis and sweet baking spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg. Some of the grapes in this blend are fermented as whole clusters, providing depth, texture, and structure. The TightRope is one of few Pinot Noirs that can hold up to bold flavors, such as smoked and grilled meats.
