The 2018 Pinot Noir sports a medium ruby, plum, almost opaque hue as well as a killer bouquet of ripe black raspberries, redcurrants, roasted herbs, loamy earth, and sandalwood. Rich, almost full-bodied, and beautifully textured, with silky, polished tannins, this is another rock star of a Pinot Noir from Michael Browne that will deliver the goods over the coming 7-8 years, probably longer, although I have no idea why you would delay gratification!

The 2018 Pinot Noir Estate is racy and exuberant right out of the gate. A rush of sweet red cherry fruit, mocha, spice, cola, licorice and plum race across the palate. Succulent and engaging, with soft contours, the 2018 will drink well right out of the gate as it shows off its sensual personality. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off. (AG)

Expressive nose of cloves, violets, mulberries, blueberries and porcini mushrooms. Rich, intense and spicy, yet elegant too, with silky tannins and a medium to full body. Delicious earthy undertones. Drink now or hold.

Notes

Founded by Michael Browne, CIRQ is centered on Pinot Noir from Sonoma’s Russian River Valley, with bottlings generally aimed at highlighting specific vineyard sourcing and careful small-lot cellar work. The 2018 Sonoma growing season was relatively even and extended, giving Pinot Noir producers a broad window for picking decisions.
