The Smart Money Alternative to Burgundy
Terroir is the concept most often cited to explain why the vineyards of Burgundy capture the imaginations, and palates, of so many wine lovers. Pinot Noir is particularly sensitive to its environment, creating a fascination with how this grape can capture a specific place and vintage so completely.
However, while the die-hard (and increasingly deep-pocketed) Burgundy fan may swear that there’s not much to write home about two hours outside of Dijon, we believe it is short-sighted to assume there are no other avenues worth exploring. With the whole world to choose from, we have assembled a collection that challenges the status quo.
This mixed case is a curated tour of the New World’s finest, making a strong argument for terroir, quality, and, most compellingly, value beyond Burgundy.
What's Inside the Case:
2022 CHACRA Cincuenta y Cinco '55' Pinot Noir, Bodega Chacra (Argentina)
The Named Vineyard. rather than jumping from the glass, this wine dances in it. It weaves cherry with violets, rose petals, and ripe strawberries. Juicy tannins and assertive acidity give the wine a beguiling tension.
2020 RIPPON 'Rippon' Mature Vine Pinot Noir (New Zealand)
The Pioneer of Otago. Nick Mills is a true master of the land, letting the terroir and vintage speak loudly. This vintage is extremely perfumed with a pretty ripeness, clarity, plums, al-dente strawberries, and a hint of cantaloupe.
2021 PINOT NOIR Pauline Vineyard, Illahe Vineyards (USA)
The Sustainable Adventurers. A superb new release with just 253 cases made. Delivers mesmerizing notes of Italian plum, Mount Hood strawberry, raspberry, vanilla bean, leather, and spice.
2021 ONE BLOCK Gembrook Pinot Noir (Australia)
The Former Sommelier. Cool, fresh, and pure. Notes of rhubarb and rose hips flow through a floral, herbal finish with just a whisper of light-touch tannins. Mouth-watering purity.
2023 MOYA MEAKER Pinot Noir (South Africa)
The Star Winemaker. Grown on Bokkeveld shale and fermented with whole berries to avoid pepperiness. This is vivacious with red berry fruit, briar, and graphite.
2024 BARDA PINOT NOIR, Bodega Chacra (Argentina)
The Patagonia Beauty. Vivid, lively, and crunchy. Perfumed with subtle cherry, cranberry, and strawberry aromas and a hint of peaches. Always excellent and super drinkable.L&S
