Natalie's Score: 91/100

A silky, juicy cool climate California Pinot Noir from the Sonoma Coast. Fleshy red cherry and dark spice with a long, silky finish and nervy acidity for seafood, roast chicken and turkey. Medium-bodied and delicious!

Pinot Noir food pairings: veal medallions, roasted pork loin, roasted and braised lamb, chicken stuffed with asparagus and goat cheese, venison burgers.

Terrific Turkey Wine

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

A consistently great California Pinot Noir, slightly earthy, with aromas of red cherry and cranberry with hints of violets, dried herbs and leather. Medium bodied, with bright, balancing acidity, ripe berry notes and an herbaceous finish with hints of leather and smoke. Enjoy with duck.
Perry rated this wine as 92/100
A consistently great producer of classic Californian pinot noir year after year. It seems to get better every year. Beautiful cherries and field raspberry notes roll in first, then there's fresh earth aromas after a spring rain followed by some baking spices and a long finish. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
