A Taste Adventure ... Pinot Noir Taste-Off
Taste the Best Pinot Noir from California and New Zealand
Six 50ml (1.7 oz.) mini bottles
Santa Barbara and New Zealand boast more than beautiful scenery, they also both make extraordinary Pinot Noir. Compare and contrast three wines from each region and then decide which wine you prefer. Do you like the elegant complexity of the William James, the earthy Lucas & Lewellen and the bright and flashy Alma Rosa? Or do you prefer the medium-bodied and lingering Lake Chalice, the fruit-forward Manu or the savory Old Coach Road.
Compare these stellar examples from hemispheres north and south--and find your favorites.
