This expressive Pinot opens with aromas of smoked brisket, black cherry, wild blackberry and suggestions of thyme and forest floor. There are medium weight flavors of red cherry, boysenberry jam, black olive tapenade and creosote. This is slightly more fruity and less earthy than the '14 Montazi, but every bit as good. Lithe and light on its feet, this is simply delicious and should continue to evolve in bottle over the next few years. (Best 2016-2026) - August, 2016 (OB)
