Savory and earthy on the nose, but still all fruit on the palate. Needs a little more time for the flavor to catch up with the aromas, but still highly enjoyable.

Nice aromatics, very soft tannin and acidity, would pair nicely with a slice of Margarita pizza

Nose is big and smokey but also slightly grassy. Strawberry jam in the mouth with a cherry finish.

Not as fruit-filled or concentrated as the 2013, and not as good in really any way.

Nose is slightly grassy, but otherwise classic central coast Pinot with smooth finish.
