Stoller Vineyards Pinot Noir

Stoller Vineyards Pinot Noir Wine Details
Price: $39.00 per bottle

Description: As a tribute to maturing vineyards, recently we keep making "best yet" Stoller Vineyards pinot noir bottlings each year. This is one. Dark red to garnet in hue, this wine is deeply colored, fruited and weighted. There is spicy red and black fruit showing, with lots of raspberry, plum and even blackberry-almost a spiced cobbler or fruit crisp-exhibiting a luxuriant texture and volume. There is a slight hint of alcohol in high aromatics, an underlying fine grit of tannin for aging, darkness and coffee roast wood characters, and a length and breadth that is pleasing to me. Despite its growing pedigree, I appreciate this soft, plush wine for its friendliness and comfort factor-a bit like corduroy.
