Professional Ratings

94 Wilfred Wong of Wine.com
Quite an outstanding effort, the powerful 2014 Bonaccorsi Bentrock Vineyard Pinot Noir does not hold its fruit back. This wine is generous and bright. Its active red and blue fruits coupled with its long and lush palate make it an exciting match with lightly spiced lamb shanks. (Tasted: November 17, 2017, San Francisco, CA)
93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2014 Pinot Noir Bentrock has a beautiful nose of red roses, warm red cherries and cranberry sauce with hints of cinnamon stick and lavender. Medium-bodied, with fantastic intensity in the mouth, the bold, perfumed red berry flavors are backed by silky tannins and great freshness, finishing long.

Bonaccorsi Wine Company produces limited quantities of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah rendered in the style and spirit of a small Burgundy domaine. Grape sources are selected carefully from cool areas of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties in California's South Central Coast. Current grape sources include Sanford & Benedict Melville, and Fiddlestix Vineyards in the newly created Santa Rita Hills appellation, and Bien Nacido and Le Bon Climat Vineyards in Santa Maria Valley. At the winery, grapes and wine are handled carefully and minimally in an effort to capture and enhance the combination of grape variety and site. Bonaccorsi's objective is to produce wines that combine concentration with delicacy.

Pinot Noir

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

Sta. Rita Hills Wine

Santa Barbara, California

A superior source of California Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills is the coolest, westernmost sub-region of the larger Santa Ynez Valley appellation within Santa Barbara County. This relatively new AVA is unquestionably one to keep an eye on.

The climate of Sta. Rita Hills is a natural match for Chardonnay and Pinot noir, thanks to the crisp ocean breezes and well-drained, limestone-rich calcareous soil. Here, grapes ripen just enough, while retaining brisk acidity and harmonious balance.
