Edna Valley Vineyard
Estate Edna Valley Pinot Noir
2015 Pinot Noir opened August 2018. Lots of spicy notes on the nose with some green chlorophyll scents. The nose made me think this wine might be rough on the edges -- perhaps no malolactic fermentation to make it a smooth and balanced wine -- but the tannic structure is silky and light as a feather. Red raspberries on the front, and slightly tart high notes on the top of the palate, but the silky smooth structure really holds this wine together right down to the finish.
