James Suckling (99)Vina El Pison has been delivering persistent greatness over the past eight years, and the magic of this vintage rests with its complexity, which is all about purity of immaculate fruit. The wine is minerally and complete, with impeccable powdery tannins that seamlessly coat the palate. It is bright, vibrant, floral and almost fruity, but still a bit timid on the nose. The palate shows what it is capable of, with melted, dissolved tannins and a long, minerally finish without much adornment. From organically grown grapes. Tasted twice, including a blind tasting against El Carretil, San Lazaro and La Poza de Ballesteros. It still stood out. Drink or hold. |

Wine Advocate (95)After the warm, sunny 2014, 2015 and 2016 vintages, 2017 began with a cold spring that led to a later harvest in October, which was cool, cloudy and somewhat rainy. "It’s one of those vintages that’s hard to define," Jim Maresh explains. “It’s really red fruited, really delicate. I don’t necessarily think it’s the one you age for a long time. It was so gorgeous on release." The 2017 Pinot Noir Maresh Vineyard has a pale ruby color and is bursting with layered scents of raspberry, pomegranate, dried flowers, salami, aniseed and forest floor. The light-bodied palate features concentrated, floral fruit structured by finely chalky tannins and vibrant acidity, and it has a long, perfumed finish. After a couple of hours in the glass, it gains purity and expression, suggesting it will continue to evolve positively in the cellar over the next decade or more. |

Raymond Chan (100)Full, even, black-hued ruby-red with youthful purple tints. The nose is very full with softly concentrated and layered aromas of rich, ripe, dark red berries and cherries along with nuances of dark red plums entwined with fragrant violet florals, fresh herb and spicy detail. The aromatics blossom to reveal notes of raspberry liqueur, earth and minerals. This exudes richness allied to elegance and finesse. Medium-full bodied, vibrantly succulent and lusciously sweet fruit flavours of dark red berry and cherry fruit are harmoniously melded with flavours of ripe dark plums and fragrant violet florals, dark herbs, spices and red licorice. The flavours are seamlessly mouthfilling and supported by refined, flowery tannin extraction, and enlivened by poised acidity. This has drive, energy and fine linearity, and the wine carries to a very long and sustained, rich finish of spiced cherries and raspberry liqueur. This is a beautifully rich and succulent, elegantly balanced and refined Pinot Noir with seamless-flowing, ripe flavours of dark berry and cherry fruit with complexing floral and herbal detail. Match with duck, pork, beef and lamb dishes over the next 7-10 years. Fruit from the oldest parcels, 40% Abel clone with the remainder clones 5, Dijon and 10/5, indigenous yeast fermented with 25% whole bunches to 14.0% alc., the wine spending 20-26 days on skins and aged 11 months in 35% new French oak barrels. |
