Tasting notes
(40% new French oak): Limpid ruby-red. Vibrant, expansive aromas of raspberry, Asian spices and potpourri are sharpened by a smoky mineral flourish. Juicy, spicy and energetic on the palate, shows very good clarity and thrust to its sweet red berry, candied rose and spicecake flavors. Finishes impressively long and perfumed, with resonating florality, a touch of vanilla and silky tannins sneaking in late.

Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard has a nose of red currants and red cherries with hints of forest floor, cinnamon stick and a waft of dried leaves. Medium-bodied, with a pleasantly chewy texture, it gives a good amount of earthy/chewy flavor and nice freshness on the finish.
Spring flowers, tart cherries and raspberries define the bouquet of the 2015 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard. It's graceful, elegant, and seamless, with bright acidity and a light textured, and I wouldn't push the aging curve, but it shines for its finesse and purity.
Limpid ruby-red. Intensely perfumed cherry, black raspberry and floral pastille scents are complemented by hints of cola, vanilla and Asian spices. Palate-staining red and blue fruit and spicecake flavors show impressive power and a bright, light touch thanks to a core of juicy acidity. The floral quality repeats strongly on an impressively long, sappy, seamless finish shaped by smooth, subtle tannins.
