Seven Flags Pinot Noir 2018 Paul Cluver

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (90)

Medium ruby, the 2018 Seven Flags Pinot Noir is bright with vibrant floral potpourri essence and cherry blossoms that pop from the nose. Medium-bodied and with succulent acidity, the 13.5% Pinot Noir is expressive with notions of rose petals and a delicate mineral tension with a delightful tannic edge. It uncoils to show a food-friendly wine that will indeed improve with age and be better with food.

James Suckling (91)

Cherries and cranberries with spicy notes, stems, dried flowers and herbs. Medium-bodied with good tension and compact structure. Vivid and juicy with crisp acidity and a flavorful finish. Sustainable.

Vinous (90)

The 2018 Pinot Noir Paul Cluver Seven Flags comes from the oldest vines from a south-facing cool site, different to the original vineyard that was pulled out due to leafroll. This is blended with 15% whole clusters. It has an attractive peppery bouquet with raspberry and crushed strawberry. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, modest depth and just a faint tobacco element with a linear finish. Give this two or three years in bottle.
