2016 Ultimate Wine Challenge

Jekel Vineyards Pinot Noir 2014 Monterey (United States), 13.6% abv, $19.00

85
Very Good,
Strong Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Flawlessly detailed cherry-cola buttressed by the complexity of dried orange, violets, and basaltic minerality. Blueberry and black pepper are late but welcome additions. Sappy, but with well-defined grape tannins, this is pleasantly taut, mineral wine with clear aging potential.
