Father John Vine Hill Road Pinot Noir 2017 75cl 12.5% ABV

Father John Vine Hill Road Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley, USA

Father John is the brainchild of Nick Maloney, a Californian studying and working in Burgundy. His pale, hauntingly perfumed Pinot Noirs are a thrilling expression of his experience to date, and of the new California style. Right now, no rising star is brighter than this.

A clear ruby red colour, this quietly magnificent Pinot Noir has a seductive, complex aroma of wild strawberry, redcurrant, and fresh spice from whole bunches. The palate is medium-bodied, delicate, with great freshness and clarity of fruit expression allied to silky tannin.
