Red-mineral fruit, with slight reduction and a touch of citrus. Orange peel, earthy character with high acidity and low alcohol content. A vertical wine layered with tannins.
2017 Vintage Scores:
“I loved the elegance of the 2017 La Savante Pinot Noir, a pure Pinot Noir from Gualtallary, from the vineyard informally called El Mirador, in the monastery part of the appellation. I loved the flinty reduction and the Chambolle-like elegance of the wine. The palate revealed tons of chalky minerality and comes through as tasty, salty, elegant, insinuating and harmonious. I loved the nuance and subtleness here.” — 10/31/2019
