2019 Three Furies Wines The Angry One Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., $55 (sold as a three pack).
·
Moderately
dark garnet color in the glass. Reticent but pleasant aromas of
dark cherry, rose petal, and worn leather. An initial hint of
volatile acidity quickly dissipates. Very accommodating on the
palate with a range of vivid flavors including black cherry,
blackberry, spice and cola. The wine sports a silky texture,
polished tannins and an inkling of oak. The finish lingers with
bold, aromatic goodness. Terrific when tasted the following day from a previously opened bottle.
Score: 94.

2019 Three Furies Constant Vengeance Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
14.0% alc., 120 cases, $85. Sourced
from the 35-acre Rancho La Viña Vineyard planted to
Pinot Noir. Aged 12 months in French oak barrels, 40% new.
·
Moderate garnet color in the glass. Enticing
aromas of black cherry, pomegranate, brisket, spice and
a hint of espresso. A very luxurious mouthfeel is instantly
agreeable. A mid-weight styled wine with a heady core of
black cherry, dark raspberry and cola flavors with a
subtle note of toasty oak. Nicely integrated tannins and
acidity, with a quenching finish that leaves an
impression. As Martin noted, “Constant Vengeance is
impossible to resist,” and I agree. The wine is
considerably more enjoyable several hours after opening
and reaches a crescendo the following day from a
previously opened bottle.
Score: 93.
