Ojai Vineyard, Fe Ciega Pinot Noir, 2018
Red Wine
USA
750ml
£51.00 (inc VAT)
Imagine if Audrey Hepburn threw on a leather jacket—this Pinot Noir has elegance but isn’t afraid to kick off its heels and challenge your palate. Grown in the mischievously named Fe Ciega vineyard (“blind faith”), this 2018 vintage is anything but blind; it knows exactly what it’s doing.
On the nose, it teases you with red cherries and cranberries, as if daring you to call it predictable, before smacking you with a hint of forest floor funk and a sprinkle of baking spices. The palate is silky but taut, like a perfectly tailored suit hiding a wild streak. Tart red fruit dances with earthy undertones, while bright acidity keeps everything zippy and fresh. A sly touch of tannin on the finish reminds you that this wine doesn’t just play nice—it plays smart.
This isn’t your run-of-the-mill Pinot Noir. It’s a bottle that winks at you from across the table, knowing you’re in for a good time. Cheers to a wine that knows how to keep you on your toes!
