The 2019 Forge Cellars Pinot Noir Classique is a story that takes time for character development and encourages you to unhurriedly move through the pages. Unlike the 2018 Pinots with their silky texture and instant approachability, the 2019 vintage is full of brawn and a sturdy frame that is built for the long haul. It’s more akin to a hardcover book rather than a paperback.
