Wow just opened another bottle, and upgraded my previous rating. One of my Fav’s, still tasting great, even better. Formerly known as Nugent Vineyards, the Winside Vineyards Pinot Noir was aged in French Oak (25% new). Dark Ruby with a nose of dark berry fruit and generous spice. On the palate blackberry and sweet cherry flavors, with leather, cacao & tobacco layers. Soft texture, fine tannins well balanced on a lingering finish ending with earthiness. Very Nice! Good value!
