Tasting note
Brittan Vineyards' 2015 Cygnus Block Pinot Noir should suggest dark cherry, raspberry and rose, with a cool earthy scent.

Its projected drinking period ended in 2024, so bottle condition will matter greatly. If it remains sound, a delicate close may show dried berry, tea and soft spice.
