Not only is it made by the same winemaker as Romanee-Conti; it’s from a small biodynamic vineyard that backs up to Domaine Serene – which ironically made its reputation in a series of blind tastings against Domaine de la Romanee-Conti.
This is truly a piece of American Pinot Noir history. And as great as Pinot Noir outside of Burgundy (and for under several hundred dollars) ever gets.
The winery says:
Deep and Shiny red. An explosive nose of strawberries and raspberries melted. A touch of pink pepper exalts aromas. The mouth is open on very fresh energy carried on by a discreet acidity. Silkiness is present, but in its youngest stage and few years will help tannins already supple to express more richness.
A true work of art.
