This 2015 Pinot Noir is one for the ages, especially for the price … six months in 100% French oak, but older (3+ year old barrels) so the fruit shines through from start to finish: cranberry, sour cherry, black cherry (and that’s just the aromas). Made from de-classified, all-estate fruit, with the addition of 5% Merlot – the palate is smooth with good acidity, plus floral, strawberry and a hint of cedar … it’s pure Pinot-pleasure, especially for the price. Price: $19.95 – Rating: ****+
