Citation Pinot Noir 2006
Oregon, United StatesPresident and Founder Howard Rossbach says Citation is “The finest Pinot Noir we offer…by looking beyond limiting local geographic boundaries to attain the highest quality possible.” It is an intense selection of the best blocks from across the state of Oregon. Post ferment, it is aged in French oak barrels for fifteen months. The nose is scented with floral red-blue fruit and cinnamon spice. Nine years of bottle age has left this wine immediately drinkable, from its spicy, earthy cherry to its ultra-silky palate, where the tannins have long dispersed into the fabric of the wine. Perfectly balanced and an absolute pleasure to drink, this is as good as it gets right now. Mushroom-stuffed, oven-roasted chicken appeals to me, as does a Peking duck order.Tasted: 18 December 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| CDN | $99.99 | 750ml | estimated retail in select private wine shops |
