Presqu'ile Winery Pinot Noir, Santa Barbara County, USA 2021 Chateau Laroque Best with rustic fare

Best with rustic fare

Extremely deep and ripe on the nose with dried-berry

Grand cru grapes from the Côte des Blancs give this Champagne great intensity and texture

but it remains voluptuous and with the force that speaks of the varietal

look for some vanilla tones to surface

Presqu'ile Winery Pinot Noir, Santa Barbara County, USA 2021 Chateau Laroque Best with rustic fareNot yet bottled, the 2021 Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County should be rock solid, if not outstanding. Lively red fruits, sappy flowers, and some peppery notes all emerge from this medium bodied, balanced, charming effort that's going to bring real Pinot Noir character at a heck of a price. 91 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
