![](https://p8.secure.hostingprod.com/@site.belmontwine.com/ssl/ystore/images/spacer.gif) | Qty=1Size=750 ml, RP[98]"Like its Horseshoe Hillside counterpart, the 2019 Pinot Noir Alpine Hillside Vineyard is spectacular throughout and redefines what is possible with this grape variety in California. The nose amplifies the intensity of the Alpine bottlings' aromatic complexity, spotlighting minty, herbal and citrus-rind aromas, offering an almost cooling quality to the dark fruits and dried spices layered beneath. The palate is supple, enveloping and supremely elegant, maintaining impressive levity and energy despite its expansive frame. The finish is simultaneously impactful yet restrained, with its substantial tannin structure receding before returning, swelling and gaining continuous power and length. This is a magnificent wine that should be present in any serious collection of Pinot Noir." - Matthew Luczy, robertparker.com (Apr 18, 2024) |
