2021 Big Basin "Rodnick Farm Vineyard" Chalone Gabilan Mountains Pinot Noir
94
Wine Advocate
The 2021 Pinot Noir Rodnick Farm Vineyard is a radiant and translucent expression of this singular vineyard, leading with a perfumed yet savory nose that rapidly takes on further citrusy and saline complexity. Silky and ethereal on the palate, it explodes into a finish that elegantly melds weightlessly saturated fruits with persistent mineral intensity. This is a high point of a beautifully well-crafted roster.

Vinous
The 2021 Pinot Noir Rodnick.Farm Vineyard shows all the savory mineral intensity that is so typical of this sector of the Gabilan Mountains. Bright red-toned fruit, crushed rocks, mint, white pepper, anise and orange peel are all beautifully delineated. This mid-weight, driving Pinot has a ton to offer. It's another compelling effort from Big Basin.

Wine Enthusiast
Wines from Chalone often take a bit longer to emerge and then last forever in the bottle. This one begins with earthy aromas of tar and charred plum on the nose, then picks up orange peel, brighter plum flesh and wild chaparral on the palate. Drink now-2041. *Cellar Selection* (MK)
