THE PARING PINOT NOIR 750ML

Vinous 89 points - The 2016 Pinot Noir is another terrific wine in this range that delivers superb quality and personality for the money. Dark, fleshy and inviting, the 2016 offers lovely depth in its dark red cherry and plum fruit. Licorice, spice, tobacco, cedar and earthy notes add shades of nuance. The tannins could use a bit more polish, but there are also limits to what can be achieved at this price point, especially with Pinot Noir, a notoriously fickle grape..September/2018
