Colene Clemens Margo Pinot Noir 2022

Keenly structured yet rich and polished, offering black cherry and raspberry flavors laced with black tea, river stone and dusky spice notes that gather tension toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2033. 119 cases made.

Elegant and lifted, the 2022 Pinot Noir Margo Estate shows off the delicate spice of cinnamon, roses, cranberries, and dried dusty earth. Medium-bodied and graceful, it offers fine tannins, and an even finessed linear feel, with a clean, stony finish. It's highly appealing now and will age with ease over the next 6-8 years.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Margo is understated, with confectionary nuances of violet candies, lavender and blackberry rising from the glass. It's soft-textured and soothingly round, with saturating ripe red and blue fruits complicated by sour citrus and a spicy flourish toward the close. This finishes with medium length and gently tannic, leaving a hint of black currant and purple inner florals to linger on. The Margo holds nothing back yet lands on the side of balance.
