This gorgeous Pinot Noir comes from La Rinconada vineyard, which is known for growing outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that flourish in a cooler climate. This Pinot Noir has a wonderful elegant personality and instantly opens with intense aromas of dark cherries, spices, ripe red berries, black pepper, dusty leather and a touch of new wood. On the palate this is beautifully polished, bursting with bright fruit. It all comes together into the juicy, mouthwatering finish which lingers on. Showing well now but expect this to gain complexities as it evolves over the next decade. (Best 2017-2029) - May, 2016 (MD)
