£50

🚨 Quaff-ability Alert 🚨

Had this in Cut Park Lane w/ a top steak so was keen to review @ home properly 👍 @ £50 I think this is the best Chanin single block Pinot I’ve had in a top year - really well balanced, not overpowered & loaded with vibrant fruit 😍

Moderately saturated ruby color. On the nose its very perfumed, reminiscent of rose petals, black cherry, and black tea with a sharp minty note and hints of forrest floor. On the palate, its voluptuous in style with impressive structure and length. Its sourced from grapes farmed on steep southwest facing slopes with a view of the Pacific Ocean and access to its cooling breezes. The Santa Rita Hills is one of the great New World appellations for Pinot Noir with other great vineyards like Sea Smoke, La Rinconada, Sanford & Benedict, and Fiddlestix sitting below Rita's Crown. I love this appellation and Bevan's big style. RP $75. — 9 years ago
