'MCM88' Pinot Noir 2019

"Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, it gives up black raspberries, pomegranate, and lavender with touches of rose oil and wild sage. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers intense red and black fruit layers with hints of herbs, minerals, and earth, finishing long with a floral lift. MCM88 stands for the initials of the three Senses founders – Max, Christopher and Myles – with the 88 being their birth year. The Russian River vineyard, formerly known as Keefer Ranch but now called Perry Ranch, is planted to the Mariafeld clone." - 96pts, Lisa Perotti-Brown MW

VINEYARD NOTES From the famed vineyard formerly known as Keefer Ranch, we bring you the MCM88 Pinot Noir; an exuberant Russian River single vineyard Pinot Noir from the block originally farmed by Kosta Browne.Our boldest Pinot noir yet comes from a very special block in a very special vineyard now known as Perry Ranch. This addition to the Senses family stands apart from its’ siblings with greater concentration and richness. We are very excited about this wine and have named it accordingly: MCM stands for Max, Chris and Myles and doubles for the roman numerals of 1900, which when added to ‘88 marks our birth year of 1988.
