2018 Black Kite Cellars 'Kite Rest' Pinot Noir Anderson Valley, USA
$49.99 USD
Winemaker Notes
Dynamic and multi-layered, the Kite’s Rest Vineyard Pinot Noir is a harmonious blend of the three distinct blocks that comprise their Anderson Valley estate vineyard. Lively violet, rose potpourri, plum, vanilla, and spice highlight the aromatic profile, while the edgy core of cranberry and raspberry gains dark berry richness on the long, gracefully structured finish.

Rated 93 Points Wine Enthusiast
Lavish ripe fruit flavors meet delicious baking-spice accents in this broad, smooth and mouthfilling wine. It's easy to love for the strawberry, and red- and black-cherry notes and the cinnamon, vanilla and cedar shadings from oak aging.
Rated 93 Points Wine Spectator
Refined and precise, with hints of red licorice to the sleek assembly of cherry, dried berry and currant flavors. Loamy midpalate, with a long, crisp finish of slate and spice. Drink now through 2026. 929 cases made.
