Diora La Petite Grace Monterey Conty 2018 Pinot Noir, $16.14-$21.99, 92 points, poured a deep dark pomegranate red with a broad clear wine ring and copious fat-stained legs.
Aromas were milk chocolate, cocoa, and more chocolate with black cherry accents, hints of red raspberry, and a floral vibe.
An unusual near full-bodied Pinot with good acidity, significant tannins, and rich flavors of, yes, chocolate, cherry cola, Kirsch, and red raspberry.
Finished long on the trailing palate, iodine, and a surprisingly balanced 14.5% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my spiced pork loin.
I loved this Pinot Noir, but a bit out of varietal-character.
