The counterpoint to Radian in 2022, Dragonette’s Bentrock Vineyard Pinot Noir is immediately more supple and easy-going on the palate, with less grip but no less complexity. It leans into a higher-toned, stony minerality—almost chalk-like in texture—that gently coats the red cherry, blackberry, and blood orange fruit. Powdery tannins frame the supple core, adding aromatic depth with layers of brown baking spices, dried violets, and rose petals. An earthy hint of ash lingers on the long, graceful finish. A beautifully composed wine that invites reflection with every sip.
