2019 J.C. Somers Abbey Ridge Vineyard Dundee Hills Pinot Noir
13.0% alc., $65. According to vintner J.C. Somers, “Abbey
Ridge Vineyard is the finest Pinot site in the New World.”
·
Moderate garnet color in the glass. A marriage of cherry and
toasty oak on the nose with the cherry fruit coming to the
forefront over time. Very engaging and mouth-filling in a midweight
style with a strong entry, mid-palate presence and finish
all infused with cherry goodness. There is plenty of exotic spice
as well with added flavors of crisp bacon and oak-driven
tobacco. A very Pommard-like, dancing Pinot that is gently virile.
More gregarious with loads of spice and dissipated oak when
tasted the following day from previously opened bottle. A
hauntingly beautiful wine.
Score: 96.
