2016 Brewer-Clifton Machado Pinot Noir Sta Rita Hills

(96 Points) The 2016 Pinot Noir Machado showed beautifully, with the rounded, supple, and opulent style of this great vintage front and center. Loads of candied cherries, raspberries, spice, and floral notes all define the bouquet, and it has no hard edges and wonderful balance. It’s going to continue drinking brilliantly for another decade or more.Jeb Dunnuck
