Laura Catena 2021 Luca Vintage Pinot Noir

WINEMAKER NOTES

Beautiful garnet color with aromas of wild strawberries, saddle leather and cola root. A complex Pinot with notes of leather, spice, and cherry/raspberry confiture on the palate. Amazing aroma and finishes with an enjoyable Burgundian bent.

Pairs well with foods such as lamb chops, grilled salmon, roasted duck or chicken, and game birds. Pinot lovers may just go ahead and drink it all by itself!

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

93pts James Suckling

Savory herbs and spices with a hint of dried orange, undergrowth and fresh cranberries on the nose. Dry on the palate with savory herbs and spices that extend to a long, subtle finish.

93pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2021 Pinot Noir G Lot is livelier and fresher than the 2020 I tasted next to it. It's peachy, with more balance and harmony and more finesse, minerality and freshness and better-integrated oak.
