The Megan Anne Cellars ‘Black Love’ Pinot Noir is a barrel selection wine sourced from both the Lachini and Nysa Vineyards. The wine saw some extensive oak treatment (16 months 60% new French oak) prior to bottling. There are lighter oaky tones on the nose that connect with dark fruits and tobacco leaf with damp earth. The palate shows good weight and freshness with black tea, blood orange, peat moss and cherry vanilla flavors. I really love the range here. While this is drinking marvelously now, the wine will cellar well for a decade or more. Drink 2018-2030- 93

My first Black Love (aside from that girl in college). And unlike that girl, this one lives up to the hype.

Feb 16th, 2016Ok I know I'm biased because I know and love Mark, but I still love this wine as much as I did the first time I tasted it.
