| Description: | "The Brewer-Clifton Meliora, from California's Sta. Rita Hills appellation, is made by Spago's wine director, Christopher Miller, who has been making wine for the past five years (although he admits this is his first attempt with Pinot). Miller, who even harvested the grapes, added, "Greg [Brewer] makes sure that I don't do anything stupid (an increasingly easier task, but he has the patience of a saint), acts as my assistant winemaker/consultant, and his cellar guy babysits my juice through élevage.". For the wine, Miller chooses "extended lees contact instead of early sulfur additions," which he says lowers the overall sulfur level and makes the wine approachable when young, without compromising its ability to age. The wine itself was silky, with a vibrant core of wild berry, boysenberry and raspberry fruit that slowly revealed nuances of sage, tar and wild flowers, as a firm note of hot stones filled the long finish. I rated it 91 points, non-blind." Wine Spectator |
