Tasting notes
Pale ruby-purple in color, the 2014 Mt Jefferson Cuvee Pinot Noir has a good core of warm raspberries and wild strawberries with suggestions of garrigue, forest floor and lavender. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers a great intensity of vibrant red berry flavors complemented by earth and herbal undertones and structured with ripe, fine-grained tannins, finishing with impressive length and expression. Great value!

(15 percent new oak) Bright red. Forward, spice-accented aromas of fresh red berries, cola and lavender are joined by mineral and allspice nuances that emerge with aeration. Sweet and incisive in the mouth, offering juicy raspberry and floral pastille flavors and a touch of smokiness. Finishes silky and very long, with repeating red fruit character; gentle tannins come in slowly to contribute grip. This wine shows quite a light touch for the vintage.
