The 2019 J. Christopher Rock Blocks Pinot Noir is light on its feet, with aromas and flavors of cranberry, wet stone, damp earth, and dark brambly fruit. Smooth and finely textured, it carries bright acidity and a firm mineral structure that gives the wine focus without heaviness. Its understated, stony character will appeal to drinkers who enjoy elegant Burgundy-inspired Pinot Noir.

Serve slightly below room temperature with roast chicken, mushroom risotto, or grilled salmon.
