Product Description
JD98+ "Coming from the Pisoni vineyard and vines planted in 1990, the 2017 Pinot Noir Le Moulin Rouge reveals a ruby/purple color as well as a bright, racy style in its raspberry, flower, and wet stone-like aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, with bright acidity and building tannins, it has a thrilling purity and elegance as well as a tight, backward feel on the palate. Nevertheless, it’s loaded with potential. Give bottles 3-4 years and it’s going to evolve for over a decade." JD Jun 2019
"There's nothing that this winery does that is not admirable. Consider that they work with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon as well as Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, they produce world-class wines from all of these varietals, and they do it from Knight's Valley and the Sonoma Coast. Of course, they have had some fabulous winemakers pass through, including the likes of Helen Turley and Mark Aubert, Luc Morlet and now his brother, Nicolas Morlet. Nevertheless, much of the credit has to go to Sir Peter Michael, the owner, who gives these people carte blanche, and expects their very best." RP for WA
