Nielson Monterrey & Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2022 750ml

Expert Review - Vintage 2022

Tasting Panel 92 Points | Delicate, detailed, and light in body but quite expressive nonetheless, this wine offers dark cherry aromas and flavors with appealing accents of baking spice and just a whiff of toast. Fine-grained tannins firm the finish enough to make it promising for the table, but it could also just be sipped with pleasure. 

James Suckling 90 Points | A sturdy, straightforward wine with good, ripe black fruits and meaty, spicy accents on a generous texture. Light tannins and a rather full body give a relaxed mouth-feel.
