Tasting notes
The 2014 Pinot Noir Pisoni Vineyard, which took a full 30 days to ferment dry, is a beautiful wine. Giving up lots of red fruits (I normally find more dark fruit from Pisoni), crushed rock, spice and spring flowers to go with a medium-bodied, tight, vivid and fresh profile on the palate. It's nicely balanced, and while it needs a year or two of bottle age to come together, it will have a decade of overall longevity.

Bright magenta. Highly perfumed aromas of black raspberry, boysenberry and cherry cola are complemented by hints of potpourri and star anise. Seamless and fleshy in the mouth, offering juicy dark berry, bitter cherry and vanilla flavors and a suggestion of spicecake. Expands steadily on the impressively long, energetic finish, which features harmonious tannins and a resonating floral pastille quality.
