Great cab. Dark fruit. Wish it was <$50 but it’s worth it. Soft tannins. Slight bit of olive brine finish which is fine — 15 days ago

Slightly less open knit than the Grumello but ultimately very similar. Bright juicy berries, roses, earth and rock texture. Opens up with a half hour of air. Great for current drinking — 18 days ago

Nid Tissé – Pinot Noir 2023
Radian Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills AVA, California – USA 🇺🇸

Overview
From the windswept, western edge of the Sta. Rita Hills AVA, the Radian Vineyard is known for producing some of the most structured and site-expressive Pinot Noir in California. Nid Tissé (“woven nest” in French) reflects this sense of intricacy and place, highlighting the cool-climate purity and intensity that the appellation is famed for. 100% Pinot Noir.

Aromas & Flavors
Red cherry, cranberry, and wild strawberry upfront, layered with rose petal, dried herbs, and hints of baking spice. A subtle undercurrent of sea spray and stony minerality underscores the vineyard’s coastal terroir.

Mouthfeel
Linear, energetic, and elegant. Medium-bodied with fine, chalky tannins and vibrant acidity. The wine shows both precision and depth, finishing with a long, mineral-driven echo of red fruit and spice.

Winemaking Notes
Small-lot fermentation with partial whole-cluster inclusion to lift aromatics and add structure. Aged in French oak barrels (approx. 25–30% new), allowing delicate integration of oak spice while preserving freshness and purity.

Food Pairing
Pairs beautifully with roasted duck, wild mushroom risotto, or cedar-planked salmon. Its minerality and freshness also complement charcuterie and earthy cheeses like Tomme or Reblochon.

Verdict
A tightly woven, finely balanced Pinot Noir that captures the essence of the Radian Vineyard. Elegant yet powerful, coastal yet generous — a wine that speaks clearly of place and craftsmanship. Cheers! — 17 days ago

No formal notes . Medium ruby , quite thin ruby garnet hued rim. This shows grafite , cassis and quite classic character , touch of spicy oak, quite cool and refined . Cool cassis , grafite notes, good balance, fresh acidity and fine but noticeable tannins , touch of spicy oak on the finish . This is classic and elegant in style, with cool fruits and mineral notes. Not a big wine but well balanced . Drinking well now and probably over the next 10 years . The second bottle is a little different , a little more roasted and oaky , touch more advanced , but balanced still and enjoyable . Relatively good value pick I would imagine in most places … less so here in Dubai — 19 days ago

WOW! I haven’t had this wine for many years. The tertiary aromatics are amazing - mushroom, forest floor, smoke, charcoal, leather and cedar around a bouquet of blackberry and dark fruit. A real joy ! — 16 days ago

Drinking very nicely and a surprisingly good value on the list at Polo Bar. The age has been very good to this, it’s still quite primary but the tannins are pretty seamless and the fruit and earth express nicely. Just enough acid on the finish to keep it together - could have used more but this is 2015 Bordeaux after all. Nice wine. — 18 days ago

Second wine from Pibarnon and a stunning effort. Still quite nervous but time will solve this easily. 70% Mourvedre and 30% Syrah — 18 days ago
