The 2015 Pinot Noir, SMV comes from two vineyard sites in the Santa Maria Valley, 65% Solomon Hills and 35% Bien Nacido. This Pinot Noir is an absolutely gorgeous showing, which impressive for its bright fruits and elegant character. As this begins to unwind, it releases pretty aromas of red berries and pomegranate, followed by, zesty spices, mushroom, smoke, fresh mint and violets, which all soar from the glass. This is light to medium-bodied and beautifully textured with silky tannins, bright acidity and vibrant fruit. It continues to impress with excellent precision and balance all the way through the finish. While this is already outstanding, it will continue to develop and gain even further complexity over the next decade. (Best 2017-2029) - April, 2017 (MD)
