All About Me
Napa Cellars Pinot Noir 2018
The vines here produce complex, layered fruit that translates to an earthy minerality and natural acidity. This Napa Cellars Pinot Noir is an elegant wine, velvety and smooth that delivers beautiful aromas of dried cherries, tart plum, earthy notes, cola and mushroom. For a delicious meal, pair with garlic and herb roasted pork tenderloin, or a dark chocolate mousse for dessert.
DeLoach Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
This wine is starting to get some of that lovely Pinot Noir earthiness and mushroom notes running through it, and will develop some more over the next few years. The strawberries are joined by a more Californian style of black liquorice, but the bright Burgundian acidity is never lost.
Field Recordings Wonderwall Pinot Noir
A characterful and terroir driven expression of Pinot Noir, Wonderwall is restrained and elegant, with oriental subtleties that dance in and out of focus - tea leaves, incense spice for example. Perfumed fruit, minerality and a savoury, leafy finish that goes on and on make this a wine to mull over, maybe with dim sum.
