Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Aug 22
The 2020 Pinot Noir La Rinconada Vineyard is a potent, searing wine. Bright red-toned fruit, minerals, crushed rocks, white pepper and iron all race across the palate. I find the stems overpowering to the degree that site character is masked. This austere, reticent Pinot will need a number of years to come together. It's a very good wine, but one that could have been and should have been better.

Light clay with lots of stones. The most burgundian site – ‘though we don’t want to make burgundy in California, just want to have a Burgundian sensibility’, says Étienne de Montille. 70% whole bunch. The darkest of these 2020 Racines Pinots. Light nose. Lots of texture and savour underneath. Very juicy too. Firm, ripe tannins on the end. Long. (JR)
