Tasting note
Hess Persson Estates' 2021 Mardikian Vineyard Reserve should give Pinot Noir's red cherry and raspberry a delicate floral lift. Sonoma Coast freshness is expected to show as lively acidity and a sleek texture, with gentle tannins tracing rather than dominating the fruit. The projected peak closes in 2027 and the wider drinking span reaches 2030. As it fades, expect tea, berry and a restrained savory note, keeping the finish graceful and dry.
