2017 Nielson Pinot Noir, Santa Rita Hills

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 91+ Points
Just entering its maturity yet still delightfully fruity, this wine delivers a perfume of bright red cherry, plum-berry pie, sweet forest earth and dark tobacco scents. It is fresh, supple and attractively forthcoming on the palate, where lingering flavors centered on red berry, fresh red cherry, baking spice, star anise and dried herbs find a bright harmony despite a hint of unresolved tannin. A pleasure from the moment the cork is pulled, this bargain Pinot Noir should offer dining pleasure through 2005 or beyond. 2800 cases produced.
