WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Layers of cherry, cola, violets, vanilla and fresh-cracked pepper linger long on the palate, supported by subtle oak and an elegant framework of acidity, which adds poise and definition to a long, complex finish.
TASTING NOTES:
"Deceptive in its mid-weight structure, the 2015 Pinot Noir Jensen Vineyard is extremely closed to a degree I don't think I have seen before in this wine. I imagine the 100% whole clusters have something to do with the wine's current state of reticence. Time in the glass helps to some degree, but it is clear the Jensen needs time in bottle to be at its most expressive."
- Antonio Galloni, 91+ pts
"Distinctive for the dusty, chalky edge and tart blackberry and wild berry flavors, with a floral accent and a spicy aftertaste."
- Wine Spectator, 90 pts.
