Score 88/100 · Drink 2022-2027, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2022

The 2020 Pinot Noir Fraenkle Cheshier Vineyard is a soft, fruity wine. In this vintage it is pretty approachable and easy to like. Black cherry plum, mocha, cloves and licorice bring out the darker shades of Pinot. The tannins are a bit edgy though. Overall the 2020 is a very good wine for the year, but it is not as good as it can be. My impression is that there is some low-level smoke taint present.
