Annabella Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2023 750mL
$23
CALIFORNIA : SONOMA COUNTY : RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY
Pinot Noir
MED-FULL-BODIED, FIG, BLACK PLUM, CLOVE, COFFEE, COCOA POWDER, HAY, TOAST, OAK
A dark and compelling example of Pinot Noir from the Russian River Valley. Rich, perfumed dark fruit aromas on the nose are met by spicy black fig, coffee, cocoa powder, and oak toast flavors on the palate. Undeniably a dense and brooding wine, it remains lifted and nuanced, with a lovely softness to the mouthfeel and a gratifyingly long finish that carries notes of clove, nutmeg, and other barrel spices.

Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County 2022 750mL

Pinot Noir
MED-BODIED, STRAWBERRY, BLACKBERRY, RASPBERRY, CHERRY ANISE, CLOVE, OAK
Listed on Robert Parker’s Best Wineries of the World in both 1989 & 1999, Au Bon Climate (which is owned by renowned winemaker Jim Clendenen) has achieved an almost mythic level of celebrity in the wine world … and rightly so, in our opinion! Food-friendly and age-worthy, the 2019 Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County punches way above its price point with mouth filling intensity and suppleness. Still quite young, it should remain “fresh” for the next 6-7 years, but will become more complex & continue to improve with age.

Pinot Noir
MED-BODIED, STRAWBERRY, BLACKBERRY, WET STONE, CLOVE, VANILLA, NEW OAK
This soft, somewhat brooding expression of Willamette Pinot Noir comes from the Four Winds vineyard in the McMinnville Coast Range. Planted in 1990 with Pommard clone Pinot Noir, the high elevation and uniquely shallow volcanic soils here result in lean, fresh, and acid-driven wines with distinct mineral tones and rich berry fruit.

The soft and elegant ‘‘En Brescul’ is shining beautifully now, but will keep until 2026.
