Pinot Noir

Vinous Reverie NotesGrown on the northernmost part of the Corton Hill, this Grand Cru Pinot Noir comes from old vines bought by Durand’s father in 1985. It represents the best terroir and best wine of the Durand Domaine. Tasting Notes: Countless...

Jancis Robinson"100% destemmed fruit, fermented with ambient yeasts. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. This wine is a collaboration between Master Sommelier Sara Floyd and the Pisoni Family, with Jeff Pisoni making the wine.Lighter garnet with a faint haze...

95 points Decanter"The south-facing Sisters Vineyard in the Dundee Hills, planted in 1987 to UC Davis clones of Pinot Noir, ripens fruit well to give a full expression to ripe black cherry fruit with hints of violets, mineral, earth, and spice. Even in a...

90 points Allen Meadows - Burghound"(75+ year old vines). This too is a very ripe wine in the context of the 2017 vintage with its lightly wooded nose of plum, spice, earth and forest floor. As usual, there is more power and mid-palate concentration...

96 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"The 2021 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills has a medium ruby color and pretty scents of cinnamon stick, aniseed, iron, underbrush and charcuterie with a core of red cherries and cranberries. Medium-bodied yet very...

94 points Jeb Dunnuck"The NV Grand Cru Blanc de Noirs Brut Obsidienne is 100% Pinot Noir and spent three years on lees. It has lots of musky white fruits, toasted bread, spice, and earthy mineral notes to go with a richer, rounded, textured style on the...

95 points James Suckling"I love the transparent, floral nose of this beautifully crafted and extremely fresh Tasmanian pinot noir. Fantastic interplay of mineral acidity with fresh black cherry and ripe strawberry fruit on the super-elegant palate. Long,...

90 points Wine Enthusiast"Lemon notes shine on the nose of this pink sparkler, accompanied by a hint of red apple. The frothy palate is dry, slender and fresh. Something bracing and clean is met by just a little red-apple mellowness."

97 points Decanter"This wine transposes the sparse calcareous soil and Hanspeter Ziereisen's subtle winemaking, which uses about 50% whole bunch fermentation in closed tanks to protect the fruit and later maturation in barrique, 20% new. A rather unique...

92 points Wine Enthusiast"Pale-pink in the glass, this rosé is redolent with chalk, river-rock and cherry aromas on the nose, touching both the fruit and mineral camps. It's clean and crisp on the sip, where a citrus-powered acidity cuts sharply...
