L'Usine Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Pinot Noir 2018
- Country USA
- Region St. Helena
- Case size 6 / 75cl
- Sitting just above the wine’s surface, a layer of complex aromas evolves fresh cranberry, pomegranate, and raspberry that turns into crushed gravel, coast redwood forest floor, lemon zest, and shiitake mushroom.
- In the mouth, the wine shows itself as indulgent with a pleasing depth and slight heft; similar cranberry, a touch of blue fruits, and hints of lavender combine for a satiating richness.
- The wine loses notes of brioche and strawberry tart, with very little tannin and quenching, balanced acidity.

Fine wine like fine art also elicits romantic visions. Vineyards drenched in dappled sunlight or candle-lit caves. Grey-haired British ladies and gentlemen describing the traits and aromatics of a given wine in the Queen's best English. Wine like art is raw. It requires years of hard work. It has a high likelihood of failing. It is subjective at best. It isn't always pretty. Like art, for every good or great wine that is made, there have been thousands of failures. On the palate, prominent acidity takes over and assists by throwing wild blueberry, olallieberry, and freshly picked tarragon across the tongue. The finish is framed by an intriguing texture of soft velvet and dust paired with crisp acidity indicative of its aging potential.
