The best Quality-Price-Ratio (QPR) California Pinot Noir we’ve tasted in years! It’s from one of the Central Coast’s very first Pinot Noir vineyards, Mission Ranch in the Salinas Valley planted in 1961. Fifty-five years later, mature vines in a great vintage gave a crop of beautifully ripe Pinot Noir loaded with aroma, fruit and flavor but also impeccably balanced by juicy acids and silky smooth tannins. A cool fermentation of fully destemmed fruit locked in the glorious fresh aromas and flavors while 10 months in very high-end Francois Freres barriques (all neutral, so no oaky flavor) polished the wine to fantastic smoothness.
As with the 92 point 2019 edition, this serves up generous and expressive scents of red berries, dark flowers and a hint of white pepper and chocolate. Ripe strawberry, raspberry, and dark chocolate flavors are lifted by hints of cranberry and a touch of lemon and orange blossom with some classic Pinot earthy mushroom notes showing at the end. Spicy black pepper and fresh acids add interest to the smooth, harmonious, finish. It’s delicious, ready now, will drink well for another half-dozen years, and available to you at the best price you’ll find in the USA. Stock up!
