{"product_id":"whitcraft-quinta-del-mar-pn-2017-cmw","title":"Whitcraft Winery, San Luis Obispo County, Quinta del Mar, Pinot Noir 2017","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis minimal intervention Santa Barbara-based producer employs some biodynamic practices to produce their Grenache, Pinot Noir and Syrah. From the winery: \"Chris and Kathleen (Barnato) Whitcraft started Whitcraft Winery in 1985. Chris hosted a local wine radio program in Santa Barbara County for more than ten years and learned his craft from some of the best winemakers in California—Joe Heitz (Heitz Cellars), Dick Graff (Founded Chalone Winery and its AVA), and Burt Williams (Williams Selyem \u0026amp; Morning Dew Ranch) to name a few. What began as a hobby grew into both a passion and a lifestyle, the commitment to which is present to this day in every bottle of our wine. This passion for wine was passed on to their children, Drake and Alyssa. While Chris passed in 2014, Drake continues to carry on the tradition of excellent winemaking within the Whitcraft family.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCellarTracker Member\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine’s two standout features are the roses on the nose and the super silky mouthfeel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmazingly fragrant, with complex spice and juicy cherries on the nose. The palate settles into a red fruit profile (cherry\/pomegranate mostly). A bit of heat, which adds a little bitterness to the finish and is unusual for a Whitcraft Pinot, but I’ll chalk that up to being the first vintage at this new site. Despite the abv, the wine maintains that signature Whitcraft purity. Good stuff, even super young! \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e12\/15\/2018\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"AMALFI COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52100011753752,"sku":"CMW-26012461-5088","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/5302\/9400\/files\/whitcraft_quinta_pn_2017_a.jpg?v=1779648802","url":"https:\/\/chapfour.com\/ja\/products\/whitcraft-quinta-del-mar-pn-2017-cmw","provider":"CHAPTER 4 | FINE + RARE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
