The 2013 Red Dog Vineyard Pinot Noir is a spectacular showing in the vintage. The Vineyard is situated on the northwest side of Sonoma Mountain and benifits from the cool climate of the Pacific. As this begins to open it releases aromas of wild red berries, earthy notes, florals, dark soil, black pepper, and wild dried herbs all soaring from the glass. Overall, it displays a fantastic texture with lots of red fruits on the palate. The finish is vibrant with with lovely acidity and spicy notes lingering. This is certainly one of the most compelling wines I've had had the chance to taste from Talisman. (Best 2016-2028) - July, 2016 (MD)
