With the amount of Pinots being produced lately you'd think that sourcing the gems should be easy. Well, it isn't. Our team has tasted hundreds of Pinots this year and few pass our demanding standards, let alone surpass them the way Andrew Vingiello does with his single-vineyard AP Vin Pinots. Having apprenticed under famed Pinot Master Brian Loring and mentored by Michael Browne of Cult producer Kosta Browne, Andrew has - in just a couple vintages - quickly shot up into the elite realm of California's best of the
best winemakers with lofty Wine Spectator scores 93+ to boot. One of our all time favorite vineyards for Pinot is the Rosella's Vineyard in Santa Lucia Highlands. Year in and year out, this phenomenal piece of land yields big, voluptous and luscious Pinots. We have the last 10 cases of this juicy production available on a first come first serve basis. If you love Pinot this is definitely one you don't want to miss.
Wine Spectator "Outstanding 93" Points: "Pleasantly earthy, with subtle mineral, sage and a mix of blueberry and blackberry fruit that's perfumed, full-bodied, deep, rich and structured. Drink now through 2014. 375 cases made."
PLEASE NOTE: While we agree this wine should be at least 93 points, each time we've sampled it we've found it to be much more fruit forward than how the Spectator describes it. This is truly a juicy and luscious Pinot. |
