TerraNoble Pinot Noir Las Dichas Gran Reserva 2019
This is wildly drinkable, wonderfully overdelivering pinot noir, beaming with fruit and complexity. $22 and 95 points! Amazing! Drink up!
TerraNoble is a relatively new find for us, and WHOA, were we impressed! The winery is famed for its world-class carmenere, but the pinot is our jam, oh yes! Aged in concrete eggs and older French oak barrels, it's completely fruit-focused with that Burgundian "sous bois" or forest floor, with a laser beam of raspberry and sweet Marasca cherry, baking spice and savory elements, and that much sought-after tang of minerality. Fresh and long and simply irresistible drinking! Pinot lovers, this will rock your world!
This is a serious score — take advantage while we have! There are only 35 cases...!
PAIRING IDEAS: Take chicken thighs and brush them with honey, soy, ginger, garlic, a bit of hoisin if you have, and bake them in the oven at 400. When they are done, crank up the broiler, brush a bit more glaze on, and get the skins all crispy. Dinner!
MUSIC SUGGESTIONS: The Red Hot Chili Peppers have a new album out – “Unlimited Love” – check it out!
