2014 Falstaff Pinot Noir

The 2014 Pinot Noir Falstaff Vineyard opens with striking, beguiling aromatics. Dark, pliant and also quite powerful, the 2014 possesses notable depth in its fruit to match its intensely floral/savory aromatics. The Falstaff also has a touch more freshness than some of the other wines in the range.

The 2014 Pinot Noir Falstaff Vineyard is superb today. The flavors are bright, precise and nuanced, but there is more depth and richness than in the 2013. Amazingly, the whole clusters are much more integrated in 2014 than in 2013. Bright cranberry, pomegranate, wild flowers, sage, quinine, mint and cinnamon add pop on the finish. An exotic, eccentric beauty, the 2014 is shaping up to be a real gem. This is pure class.
