Delicious Californian Pinot Noir: Jackhammer 2016: Only £159 per case of 12 bottles delivered

A great Californian Pinot Noir at an affordable price, this really is top notch. Succulent and fresh red berry fruit with earthy, savoury notes, it is complex with good acidity and a long, smoky finish. Richard Hemming MW (fwriting for jancisrobinson.com) extols Jackhammer’s ‘lovely perfume and lightness’. Awarding 17 points, he continues, ‘Lovely clarity. Plenty of length, with a light smokiness on the finish.’

Perfection with tuna sashimi and the strong flavours of its accompaniments—it was chosen as a match for our Tuna Loin, Sashimi Grade, in the Connoisseur Seafood Collection—and wonderful with duck too and with spicy dishes including vegetarian.

This is a really good, and affordable, Californian Pinot Noir, selected as a winner by our top American wine specialists and highly recommended by the Club Tasting Panel.
