El Molino Pinot Noir Rutherford 2019
$75
Youthful and tightly coiled, with a core of raspberry, damson plum and blood orange notes that need some cellaring to unwind. Delivers a backdrop of menthol, dried anise and sagebrush accents that add range, with plenty of stuffing in reserve to provide the time this needs. Lovely energy, too. Best from 2023 through 2032. 698 cases made.

Primary Grape
Pinot Noir
This popular red grape originated in Burgundy but has spread across the New World. Like its white Burgundian counterpart Chardonnay, Pinot Noir is early-budding, early-ripening and thin-skinned. The sites where it tends to thrive can experience tough growing conditions, which lead to more rigorous fruit selection and lower yields. This is one of the reasons that high-quality Pinot Noir often carries a higher price tag than other wines.
