Ancestrale 2016 Pet Nat Method Ancestral Bassi Vineyard Pinot Noir (San Luis Obispo County)
Editors' Choice
Mike Sinor's pet-nat experiment scored big in 2016. This pink sparkler offers complex yeasty bread, crushed rock and turned clay aromas. Zingy and racy, it grabs hold of the palate. It's all about fascinating texture and refreshing acidity. Matt Kettmann
