Tasting notes
The 2014 Pinot Noir Connor Joy Road Vineyard is delicate and finely-knit in the glass. Expressive floral notes and bright, red-toned flavors, along with mid-weight structure, are the signatures. Feminine an gracious, the 2014 will drink well upon release and for at least several years thereafter.

Pale ruby-purple in color, the 2014 Pinot Noir Connor opens with alluring potpourri, garrigue and underbrush notes over a core of pomegranate and red currants. Elegantly fruited and medium-bodied, the perfumed red fruit flavors define the palate, supported by harmonious, silky tannins and refreshing acid, finishing softly spoken yet with great resonance.

The 2015 Pinot Noir Connor Joy Road Vineyard will give readers a good indication as to the level of quality in this vintage. Black cherry, plum, licorice, herb and lavender are front and center. Succulent and expressive, but also medium in body, the 2015 is a wonderfully complete wine. Although quite attractive now, the 2015 has enough structure and tannin to drink well for a number of years. The Connor is the only 2015 Pinot that was bottled before the 2016 harvest. (AG)
