Matt Taylor Pinot Noir Cuvée Kaela Komorebi Vineyard 2017

Producer notes: "The Cuvée Kaela once again comes from a small parcel (1.20 acres) on the Komorebi property that was field grafted to a selection of Pinot Noir that has to date, continued to express itself more along the lines of Gamay than of Pinot Noir. It has more red fruit and lifted aromatics to it but carries the spice of whole cluster amazingly, yet it rejects the over-building of structure into it. It wants to be more playful, more aromatically expressive and more carefree. This parcel has always shown itself it to be its own personality and it spoke loudly and boldly to this, and therefore, since it was so opposed to me reigning it in, it only made sense that it carries the name of my wife. This is an exceptional vintage and wine and quite possibly one of the best values for exceptional Pinot Noir on the market today!"
