Critical Acclaim
RP93Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate 29th Sep 2017
"The 2015 Pinot Noir The Prospect Sierra Madre Vineyard has a pale ruby-purple color and delivers intense cherry cordial, raspberry pie and baking spice notes over a black pepper and dried Provence herb background with a hint of mossy bark. Medium-bodied, elegantly styled and with delicate earth and spice notes accenting the restrained red fruits, it has a fine-grained frame and persistent peppery suggestions on the finish." (93 pts.)
VN94+Vinous Sep 2017
"The 2015 Pinot Noir The Prospect Sierra Madre Vineyard is polished and sensual from the very first taste. Plump and juicy, but also light on its feet, it has a level of finesse and subtlety that is quite rare in this vintage. Bright, saline notes infuse the tightly wound finish. I would prefer to cellar the 2015 for a year or two." (94+ pts.)
When it comes to US wine production, California is King. California wines account for almost 90% of all wines produced in the United States each year, and is home to the most celebrated vineyards and producers in the country. California is probably best known for its world-famous Cabernets and Chardonnays, many of which hail from its two most-acclaimed AVAs, Napa Valley and Sonoma County. Other prominent grapes used in California wines include Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, and Zinfandel (which California made popular).
The United States now ranks fourth in the world in wine production behind, France, Italy, and Spain. While about 90% of that wine is produced in California, other states like Oregon, New York, and Washington are establishing themselves as prime spots for wine production, as well. Just about any variety of wine can be found in production somewhere in the United States.
RP90+90–92+ pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 31st Jan 2019 From the southern side of this large premier cru, the 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes (Maison Louis Jadot) offers up appealing aromas of plums, pomegranate, espresso roast, raw cocoa and spices. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, with good depth and concentration and a broad-shouldered chassis of fine but chalky tannin. This looks promising.VN90+90–92 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2019 The 2017 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru manifests quite potent marine scents on the nose, touches of kelp and marsh tincturing the mainly black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied, offering ripe blackberry and raspberry fruit laced with orange peel and marmalade. This has good density and similar length to the Clos de la Barre, if not quite the same precision. Still, this is a fine Volnay.
