The 2016 Pinot Noir Doctor's Vineyard has a beautiful bouquet of smoked black fruits, dried flowers, and earth. It's ripe, rounded, and supple on the palate, with the charming nature of the vintage front and center. It needs a year in bottle to soak up some of its oak but should keep nicely for 5-7 years.

(60% new French oak) Limpid ruby-red. A highly aromatic bouquet evokes ripe black raspberry, cherry-vanilla, candied flowers, oak spice and smoky minerals. Sweet, seamless and broad in the mouth, showing very good depth and power to its intense red and dark berry liqueur, mocha and spicecake flavors. Closes smooth, sappy and very long, with harmonious tannins coming in late.
