This\u003cbr\u003evineyard mix is almost identical to our 2021 version, and is likewise reflective of a warm growing\u003cbr\u003eseason with an early, compressed harvest. This young wine is perhaps less juicy but more energetic than\u003cbr\u003ethe 2021 rendition, with vibrant fruit and a lingering interplay of acid and tannins on the finish.\u003cbr\u003eEnjoy now and over the next several years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Belle Pente","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43645050126560,"sku":"113550","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/belle-pente-pinot-noir_1.jpg?v=1745941458","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/belle-pente-pinot-noir-2017-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
