2017 El Molino Rutherford Napa Pinot Noir

The fact that we make Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a vineyard in Rutherford is a bit of a tough story…We’re not going to make a lot of wine. We were going to make wine that could stand with the best wines in the world. That was very much what I think we’re doing, and what I hope we are doing.El Molino owner, Lily Berlin. WINE SPECTATOR by Kim Marcus in October 2020, Score 93: Concentrated forest floor and wet earth notes bracket the taut dried red fruit flavors, which offer rich, dusty accents. Pure and minerally on the linear finish. Drink now through 2025.
