93+ point Pinot Noir Wine Dinner at The Lobster Bar Sea Grille
Details
November’s event features the Pinot Noir grape. Join us as we explore the complex array of flavors, from ripe cherry and raspberry to intriguing undertones of forest floor, tea leaves, and sometimes even clove.
Pinot Noir is all about a symphony of red fruits along with layers of earthiness, spice, and, when oak-aged, gentle wafts of vanilla and smoke. The highly rated wines will be paired with a special four course menu crafted by the Chef at Lobster Bar and Sea Grille.
Attendance is limited to 24. Ten seats are available for Meetup members.
Wines
Arterbrry Maresh "Weber Vineyard" Pinot Noir 2021
Score: 97 pts. WA
It has a medium ruby color and alluring, feral aromas: wafts of iron, tar and game meats complement a deep core of briary fruit, and it takes its time in the glass to unfold to higher-toned notes of potpourri. Light-bodied, it's nuanced and detailed, opening to bursts of blood orange and bitters flavors as it moves through the mouth. It has abundant, powdery tannins, mouthwatering acidity and a flourish of spice across the finish.
Colone Clemens Pinot Noir Margo 2019
Score: 94 pts. WS
Shows a simmering intensity beneath a polished texture as this red unfurls crushed stone, raspberry and hints of tarragon. Builds richness and tension toward medium-grained tannins.
Resonance Pinot Noir 2019
Score: 94 pts. WS
Vibrant and impeccably structured, with floral raspberry, crushed stone and savory tea accents that build tension toward refined tannns.
Domaine Chanson 2018 Beaune Bressandes 1er Cru
Score: 93 WS
Deep black currant and black cherry flavors join forces with violet and spice notes in this plush red. It has fine equilibrium and lingers on the finish with ripe tannins. 30 cases imported
