Seresin Leah Pinot Noir

Seresin Pinot Noir is a wine I recently had the pleasure of enjoying. I overheard our wine guys talking to one of our guests about it and I also picked up a bottle. I think what piqued my curiosity was their talk of the region in New Zealand where it comes from. Marlborough, located at the top of the South Island is well known for its Sauvignon Blanc, and they also produce exquisite Riesling and Chardonnay. I was excited to try a Pinot Noir from the region and was not disappointed. It had bold n... Read More

Ampelos Pinot Noir

Ampelos Pinot Noir, Santa Rita Hills 2013

One of my favorite California producers for many years, Ampelos is about as “green” as they come, which puts them in the upper echelon of quality wines and a quiet gem to be sought out. The grapes were hand harvested and allowed to start a natural fermentation. The wine is unfined, unfiltered and 100% Pinot Noir. Flavors of dark cherries and raspberry sing into a rich cola and brown molasses core. Notes of wild red berries meld with medium acids and minimal tannins. The finish offers hints o... Read More

Roblet Monnot St. Francois Volnay 2011

Roblet-Monnot St. Francois Pinot Noir, Volnay 2011

The St. Francois is blended from several vineyards with some coming from the premier cru sites of Robardelle and Mitans. I tried this particular wine early this year and it inspired me to expand my Burgundy portfolio tenfold. It was THAT GOOD! Monnot’s 100% Pinot Noir is destemmed prior to fermentation and aged for 24 months in French oak. Vibrant flavors of ripe red cherries and cranberry flow through soft, silky tannins and vivacious acids. The mid-palate offers a core of creamy vanilla bean... Read More
