2015 Jean Pascal Burgundy (Pinot Noir) - Puligny Montrachet, Cote d'Or, France
$78.00
$58.50
This rarity (most wines from Puligny are white) displays a pretty bouquet of red berries, plums and raw cocoa. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with tangy acids, a ripe core of fruit and satiny structuring tannins. The Pascal family explain that this site is characterized by well-drained red soils and typically retains elevated acids even at advanced degrees of maturity.
2017 Middle Earth Pinot Noir Nelson, New Zealand
$26.00
$19.50
Red summer fruits, cherries, and sweet spice combine with softly smoky oak in this succulent, approachable wine. Gentle oak tannins and the tasty fruit flavors result in a smooth mouth-filling wine with good length and a softly warming spicy finish.
2016 Ampelos Pinot Noir "Biodynamic" -SRH, Santa Barbara, CA
$45.00
$33.75
Biodynamic "Natural" style Pinot Noir with a healthy amount of bottle age. This is as savory a style of domestic Pinot Noir as we've seen. Dark cherry, rich cola and butterscotch with well-worn leather and spice, a glimpse of earthy musk, forrest floor and more cherries cap off the nose very “Burgundian”.

2015 St. Innocent Pinot Noir "Zenith Vineyard"
$52.00
$39.00
It's firm, dark and toasty, with full-flavored black-cherry fruit accented with dense veins of espresso, charred nuts and bitter chocolate. The structure supports those dark notes, and the chewy tannins and lengthy finish amplify them. Drink now through 2028. - PAUL GREGUTT
2012 Carte Blanche Pinot Noir "Nobles Ranch Vineyard" Sonoma Coast, CA
$52.00
$39.00
The 2012 Pinot Noir is full of promise, needing ample time to open, it reveals bright freshly macerated cherries, carnation, and dried provencal herbs. Savory notes step forward in the generous mid-palate offering notes of dried sage, lilac, and faint cardamom. Baking spices, Swedish fish, and sour cherry sit on the silky and lengthy finish.

From the same source, the 2012 Pinot Noir (500 cases produced) is much lighter and slightly fluid compared to the more concentrated 2011. Consume it over the next several years.

$65.00
$48.75
A full house favorite. We brought this wine back after many years, as the availability from the importer has improved (due to the Covid crisis).

2018 Brick and Mortar Vin Petillant (Pet Nat - Pinot/Chard blend) Napa Valley, CA
$35.00
$26.25
From the Winery:
Our 2018 Vin Pétillant is a unique sparkling rosé made from 52% Pinot Noir and 48% Chardonnay. A delicious aperitif or brunch bubbly, and a great match for smoked salmon, oysters or fresh cheeses. Fine bubbles intertwine flavors of ripe pear and red apple with strawberries and cream. The nose is delicate and floral, with notes of cherry blossom, rose petal and orange zest. The wine is rich on the palate with a mouthwatering freshness and vivaciously creamy bubble equal to many fully sparkling wines.
2015 Llopart Cava Reserva Rose (Monastrell/Garnacha/Pinot Noir) Organic and Estate, Penedes, Catalyuna, Spain

90 pts Wine Enthusiast
Light strawberry and raspberry aromas are a touch jammy and sweet smelling. This Monastrell-based rosé is slightly aggressive but not coarse on the palate. Peachy, melony flavors are more generic than specific, while this finishes clean and easy.

2016 D. Daniel Rion Vosne-Romanee (Red Burgundy) France

Wine Spectator 94 points
Resulting from several parcels representing 1.90 ha, one of these is gently sloped to an altitude of 250 m, in ground of rather deep silt on clay, with vines from 35 to 55 years old. The other part, 25 years old, comes from a parcel on the top of the slope (300 with 325m), which is steeply sloping, on humus-bearing black soil, gravelo-stony, very calcareous. The bottom is him also calcareous and stony.
In the glass...
Vinified separately, the wines resulting from these 2 parcels are assembled just before the bottling, after a breeding on dregs in 50% of new barrels. Vosne Romanée is the flower of the domaine. Scents of cherry and rose, this wine becomes complex with age, with a nose of underwood, decaying leaves and mushrooms. Its tannins are discrete and consistent, but always elegant. It improves from 8 to 15 years depending on your preferences.
At the table...
You will find this wine harmonious with game animals delicately seasoned, such as pigeon or quails with raisins. At the end of the meal, it will be appropriate with fine and delicate cheeses.
