It’s a close-run thing about whether the Diletti or this A & W is the best Pinot Noir from Castle Rock, but both are line-in-the-sand wines for Rob Diletti. This is the lighter, more fragrant wine and just looks a fraction simpler.
Lipstick, red fruit, vanillan oak, some delicious raspberry watermelon Pinot character. Super polished and classy, all it needs is a bit more intensity to be a clincher. Applaudable drink in the context of how far the Castle Rock Pinot range has come.
