Diora La Petite Grace Pinot Noir Monterey County 2018
Dark ruby in the glass, aromas of dark cherries and raspberry mingle with nuances of licorice. Soft and velvety, robust with a voluptuous and full-bodied mouthfeel, the palate unfolds with decadent layers of intense chocolate-covered dark red cherries, and a delicate hint of wild sage. A long, lingering finish instills a lasting impression of rich, concentrated flavors.
Richly flavored and full-bodied, this Pinot Noir does not shy away from heartier fare. Serve with a dry-rubbed porterhouse steak, roast duck – the pairings are endless.
Critical Acclaim
93 James Suckling
On the southern edge of the Santa Lucia Range in the San Bernabe Vineyard, Diora makes its mark. This savory Pinot Noir delivers a perfume of black plum and sandalwood and performs with grace on the palate. Earth and black cherry exhibit depth, with added flavors of blueberry and roasted coffee. Dried violets and chocolate mint add to the plush, velvety mouthfeel.
90 Wine Enthusiast
This is a boldly ripe and oaky wine, offering rich comfort to those in search of such elements. The barrel influence on the nose is strong, with loads of vanilla and caramel over the baked cherry core. The palate shows the same, picking up nutmeg, mace and clove, with a smooth cherrypaste flavor.
