Emerging from the cool-climate slopes of Sonoma Mountain, the 2018 Van der Kamp Vineyard Pinot Noir captivates with its vibrant profile and nuanced complexity. Scoring 95 points, this wine showcases layers of ripe red cherry, wild strawberry, and a hint of earthiness, all balanced by subtle notes of spice and oak. The cool nights and warm days of the vineyard contribute to its bright acidity and silky tannins, making it incredibly approachable yet sophisticated. Pair this beauty with a roasted duck breast or a creamy mushroom risotto for a delightful dining experience. Given its outstanding quality, this Pinot Noir is a smart buy that delivers far beyond its peers at a fraction of the original retail price.
