Natalie's Score: 94/100

Beautiful on its own, this is a medium-plus-bodied, structured, beautifully-balanced Pinot Noir with layers of ripe red berry fruit, rose petals, dried wild mushrooms, wild herbs, mocha, Madagascar vanilla, cinnamon, clove and anise spices long and silky smooth on palate. Aged 10 months in 18% new French oak.

Pinot Noir food pairings: grilled lamb sirloin with cocoa rub, veal chops, grilled duck sausages, grilled pork tenderloin with cauliflower purée and cherry compote.

Reviews and Ratings

Flowers 2018 Pinot Noir is elegant and graceful, just a beautiful PN from Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County wine region. Fragrant with earthy florals, red berry, cherry, cedar and baking spice aromas on the nose; medium-bodied, lush, poised and refined with layers of red cherry, red berry sous bois and spice box flavours finishing with ultra-balanced acidity on the palate. Enjoy now and for the next five years. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
