New From the Hot New Stars of Pinot Noir!
We just received a new shipment of the Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2007 from one of the hottest Pinot Noir producers in California, Brewer-Clifton.
Robert Parker on Brewer-Clifton...
"Two brilliant young winemakers, Greg Brewer and Steve Clifton, are symbolic of both the present and future of California high quality wine production. Seemingly coming out of nowhere, with their own personal visions of wine quality formed by French and Italian experiences as well as their belief in the cool climate sites of Santa Rita Hills, they have proven time and time again that remarkable wines can emerge from this relatively new viticultural region.
Brewer-Clifton's 2007 Pinots represent another top-notch vintage for this estate. All of the wines are very young and primary, but are bursting with potential." Reviews Robert Parker 93 Points
A fabulous introduction, the generic cuvee, the 2007 Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills (just over 1,000 cases produced), possesses a deep plum/ruby hue as well as gorgeously sweet, sexy, plum, cherry, forest floor, and spring flower notes. Sensual and medium to full-bodied with great fruit, good acidity, and an incredible Burgundian-like character that suggests something from Morey-St.-Denis or further north, it should drink well for 7-8 years. |
