Mader Pinot Noir 2020

Mader Pinot Noir receives mixed reviews. Some praise its extraordinary quality, comparing it to fine Bordeaux and Bourgogne. Others enjoy its faint strawberry scent and blackberry-like flavor with a hint of pepper. However, some find it unpleasant, citing aggressive yeast, oxidized fruit notes, and a dry, dusty finish. While some appreciate its complexity, others report a lack of depth and unwholesome aromas.

Exhibiting a luminous ruby hue, the Mader Pinot Noir opens with an expressive bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and a hint of forest floor, underscored by subtle notes of clove and anise. On the palate, it reveals a silky texture with finely integrated tannins and a vibrant acidity that brings balance and freshness. The mid-palate is layered with flavors of cranberry and pomegranate, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish with whispers of dried herbs. This Pinot Noir is a quintessential expression of its terroir, offering both elegance and depth, ideal for immediate enjoyment or short-term cellaring.
