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

Best with rustic fare

It goes well with red meats and roast poultry

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

and crushed plum fruit flavors and harness them with ultra suave freshly roasted espresso

There is fantastic purity of black fruit with blackberries and ripe raspberries

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
