Escarpment's 2018 Pinot Noir is firmly in the house style of solid, age-worthy wines. There's a whack of mocha-scented oak, a dose of stemmy tannins and flavors of earth and black cherries. This medium-bodied effort does take some time to open up, so if you're drinking it over the next year or two, be sure to give it a splash in a decanter prior to serving.
