Carneros Pinot Noir 2015

9.3

Tasting the same vintage last year. This time around it is showing a bit more funk, which adds some more earthy characters to the fruit. On the nose there’s candied strawberry, bing cherry, raspberry, baking spice, dried mushroom, and a touch of smoke. Medium in body, the palate is fresh and lively with a nice push and pull between the ripe, candied fruit and the earthier notes. The acidity feels round and the tannins smooth and well-integrated.

In a beautiful spot.
