Liv Zak Pinot Noir 2020

Liv Zak Pinot Noir is praised for its rich vibrancy, earthy undertones, and juicy cherry and strawberry flavors, with some finding it opulent and refreshing. While some appreciate its harmonious blend and subtle oak notes, others feel it is dense and dry. The 2016 vintage was criticized for not resembling Pinot Noir.

Displaying a captivating garnet hue, the Liv Zak Pinot Noir opens with an aromatic bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and a hint of forest floor, underscored by a delicate floral lift. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied structure with silky tannins and a vibrant acidity that enhances its fruit-forward profile. Subtle notes of clove and earthy undertones add complexity, leading to a refined finish with a whisper of minerality. This Pinot Noir exemplifies the elegance and finesse characteristic of its cool-climate origins, making it a commendable representation of its varietal and region.
