Nicholson Vineyards 2019 Brooks Block Pinot Noir is a savory, dark delight


[ad_1]

Nicholson Vineyards, established in 2004, produces superb wines.

Their 2019 Brooks Block Estate Pinot Noir ($ 55) is a dark, flavorful beauty that will thrill you right off the bat. Intense aromas of wild raspberry and blackberry lead to a supple palate of cremini mushrooms and ripe tannins.
“It is a wine that represents the uniqueness of the terroir and the climate of sun, soil and morning ocean mist that creates exceptional fruit,” say owners Marguerite and Brian Nicholson. And with the holidays approaching, you can’t go wrong with this pinot; it’s well done, it’s local and it’s delicious.

Years ago, when the Nicholsons first started commissioning their property, they saw wild peacocks roaming the park and stumbled upon a collection of feathers. Admiring their beauty, they opted for a colorful peacock feather on every label, including this 2019 Pinot Noir.

Nicholson Vineyards also produces a rich Il Boschetto olive oil from the trees on his estate. It comes with wonderful flavors of green leaf, lemongrass and black pepper spice and is available in their charming tasting room.
