2022 Brewer Clifton Pinot Noir Machado Vineyard, Santa Rita Hills
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 95+ Points
BC’s Machado is always a very attractive Pinot, and this vintage opens with focused dark cherry and black raspberry scents at center-stage, with pretty blood orange, canela, star anise and licorice root notes in support. These elements are quite forthcoming and if anything seem a bit more dramatic on the palate, with the cherry and orange joining panettone and licorice root as main themes. The long finish shows the expected BC brightness. Expect another three years of significant growth, but don't be afraid to enjoy it now. 800 cases produced.
