Pinot Noir 'Savoy Vyd'

Score

94

"The 2018 Pinot Noir Savoy Vineyard is a touch more restrained and delicately styled than its 2017 counterpart. The nose opens with flint, woodsmoke, aniseed and oolong tea leaves with blueberry, cranberry and tangerine fruits. Light to medium-bodied, it offers delicate, angostura-laced fruits in a silky, fresh frame with a long, delicate, perfumed finish. 375 cases were made."

"The 2017 Pinot Noir Savoy Vineyard is broody with scents of crushed blackberries, rhubarb and blood orange accented by mint and oolong tea leaves and fragrant earth. The light to medium-bodied palate is delicately styled but well-concentrated with earth- and floral-tinged fruits and bursts of bright freshness on the long, layered finish. A very classic Anderson Valley expression. 300 cases were made."

"The 2017 Pinot Noir Savoy Vineyard is a pretty wine, and also the most approachable of this range. Crushed flowers, sweet red berries, cedar and spice are all laced together in a mid-weight, gracious Pinot. The Savoy suffers by comparison to the estate wines."
