One of America’s best, in winemaker Maggie Harrison. Great to find this on a list with a bit of age. There’s such a beguiling combination of savory earth, mineral and rich cherry fruit flavors, with killer concentration, a plush texture and serious length. Top notch Domestic Pinot for sure.

Fun afternoon at Classic with great company. Glad you could join us Bryan.

Whole cluster goodness! Green Bell Pepper, menthol, new pipe tobacco aromatics. The palate shows spice in the form of peppered strip, spiced plum and underripe blackberries. There is a streak of minerality down the middle. Burgundian like with a touch more fruit. Wonderful expression. Thanks for bringing

I made the comment that the viscosity of the wine blew me away, and my father rightly pointed out that what I was referring to was surface tension and not viscosity. This is what Thanksgiving is all about.

This is a very nice and well made wine. Expressive, balanced, a deft touch with the tannins and allowed to be a graceful Pinot. Well done

Botanica Pinot Noir. This is by far one of the best Pinots coming of South Africa. Beautifully perfumed/fruity nose, black fruits on the palate with amazing earthiness and leather. Limited stock
