Bethel Heights 2014 Casteel Pinot Noir – 94
This is the winery’s reserve-level cuvée. It’s bright and high-toned, offering woody notes around lush cherry and mocha flavors. Delicious already, though more bottle age should further pull the barrel flavors into proper balance. Toasted marshmallow and caramel latté highlights adorn […]
