Varner Spring Ridge Vineyard Upper Picnic Block Pinot Noir 2013 (750ML)

94 VM

94 Points Antonio Galloni: The 2013 Pinot Noir Upper Picnic is endowed with a real sense of explosive energy that elevates it in this range. The flavors are dark and intense throughout, but it is the wine's center and overall depth that are most compelling at this stage. Still quite primary, the Upper Picnic could use a few years in bottle to enter the sweet spot. The Upper Picnic offers a compelling interplay of intensity and freshness. These own-rooted vines were planted in 1981.  July, 2016.
