2018 Tobiano Pinot Noir

In Stock

Born for everyday enjoyment, our Tobiano Pinot Noir is less serious than its big brother Alazan. Tobiano is a blend of different parcels within the greater Kingston vineyard, and has been featured by the glass at respected restaurants such as Jean Georges in New York and the Four Seasons in London.

2018 was a mild, forgiving growing season and this is reflected in the easy charm of the Tobiano. Reminiscent of an Oregon Pinot Noir in the aromas. On the palate it is juicy and taut with a nice core of red fruit. It’s got lots of energy and will shine with all sorts of summery fare. Read more in Byron's tasting notes ››

**94 points** Descorchados, CASABLANCA BEST RANKING, PINOT NOIR BEST RANKING **94 points** Tim Atkin **93 points** Guía Mesa de Cata (La Cav) **91 points** Dried rose petals, orange blossom, fresh citrus and spices. Light to medium body, delicious, juicy tannins and a fine finish. -James Suckling **91 points** - Club de Amantes del Vino **92 points** - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate Medium garnet in color, this wine smells of earth and herbs and berries. In the mouth, bright berries and herbs and forest floor flavors have a wonderful silkiness and a faint nut-skin-like caramel note in addition to faint, powdery tannins. Very pretty, very elegant, very tasty- Vinography
