Review:

Matello's Hommage favors grace, elegance and structure. Licorice-tinted black cherry provides the base - flavors fan out in all directions, from floral to sweet to savory. Delicious, cellar-worthy Pinot. Highly recommended.

2008 Vintage Tasting Notes

2008 Wine Advocate - 90 points - The 2008 Pinot Noir Hommage A & D is more expressive with its bouquet of cedar, cherry blossom, exotic spices, and assorted red fruits that jumps from the glass. Densely packed fruit on the palate supported by ripe tannin and lively acidity lead to a lengthy, seamless finish. It has the structure to evolve for 2-3 years and will be at its best from 2012 to 2020. - Jay Miller

2006 Vintage Tasting Notes

2006 Wine Advocate - 90 points - The 2006 Matello Hommage Pinot noir is a bright, juicy, ready to drink Pinot noir typical of the excellent 2006 vintage. Marcus's skills resulted in a wine that suits casual drinkers but offers complexity and nuance to the Pinotphile.
