Fullerton Three Otters Pinot Noir 2022

"At this early stage the aromatics show a generous number of dark fruits like cherry, black plum and pomegranate concentrate, with a buried treasure chest of spices circling your senses. Then, it’s the palate that belies the true depth of this rich Pinot Noir. A delightful gallimaufry of Luxor cherries, red cranberry compote, strawberry leather, black currant, mission fig, and prickly pear jam is layered into spiced Sichuan peppercorn, petrichor, and Christmas spice. This wine has a most generous middle "sweetness," and depth that pipes into a long, rich, sanded tannin finish." —winemaker

"Medium intensity, it reveals notes of exotic fruits (passion fruit and pineapple) and honeysuckle. It is dry, fresh and full of aromas of citrus (grapefruit), exotic fruits (passion fruit, pineapple), flint and with a little vegetal (grass cut). The finish is of medium length. It is a very good wine, to drink now or to keep a maximum of 5 years to preserve the fruitiness of the wine. It will be enjoyed alone with friends or with fish in sauce, cooked crustaceans, dry goat's cheese such as Crottin de Chavignol. " —winemaker

"Domaine Des Buissonnes by Roger Naudet is one of the few classically styled Sancerre bottlings which doesn't cost an arm and a leg to bring home. With the rapid rise in popularity, many producers are pumping out characterless Sauvignon Blanc and shipping it quickly to thirsty consumers oversees. Buissonnes is a point of difference, maintaining the sharp citrus and mineral driven style which made Sancerre famous in the first place." —winemaker
