| Notes | "The 2015 Pinot Noir Sawyer Lindquist Vineyard is lovely, wafting from the glass with a complex bouquet of red berries, subtle tobacco leaf, cocoa, spice and sweet soil that reveals more and more nuance with aeration. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, supple and sappy, with fine-grained tannins on the finish and good concentration. One gets the sense that bottle age will be rewarded. This struck me as California's answer to a Volnay from Domaine Lafarge." (Wine Advocate) | |||
Additional Notes "The Verdad Sawyer Lindquist Vineyard Pinot Noir exhibits unencumbered qualities of the grape variety. This wine is generous, yet stylish, and refined. Its distinct aromas and flavors of savory spices and black fruit should pair well with grilled lamb chops." (Wilfred Wong, wine.com) |
