Four Bottles Of Pinot


2018 Mirabai Pinot Noir, Kelley Fox
A deep, laid back nose with notes of forest floor, roships, ripe flowers and herbs. Very, very good.
The taste is cool and elegant with notes of red currants, incense and forest floor. A salivating acidity.
91p   (tasted 2025/03)

2017 Hyland Pinot Noir, Kelley Fox
An open, ripe nose with lovely notes of raspberries, cocoa, stale coca-cola and root vegetables. Very fine.
The taste is rich and focused with a chalky acidity, beautiful sweet red fruit and a long, lingering finish.
93p   (tasted 2025/03)

2016 La Côte, Domaine de la Côte
A high, fine nose with notes of juniper berries, smoke, rhubarb and cooked lingonberries. A fine intensity.
The taste is tight and fine with notes of lingonberries, dried raspberries and herbs. A tad bitter in the finish.
91p   (tasted 2025/03)

2015 St. Maria Valley Pinot Noir SMV, Liquid Farm
A broad, beautiful nose with notes of ripe strawberries, wet forest floor, licorice, ripe flowers and smoke. Very, very fine.
The taste is rich and concentrated with stunning fruit, refinement and a structure for more aging. Great wine.
96p   (tasted 2025/03)
