Tasting notes
The 2015 Pinot Noir Costalina is bright, perfumed and absolutely delicious. Lifted and fragrant in feel, the 2015 has a lot to offer. Best of all, the 2015 will drink well with minimal cellaring. Bright red berry, chalk, white pepper and orange zest add nuance on the delineated finish. Fruit sources include Teac Mor, Hellenthal and Elliott.

Coming from a barrel selection of Hellenthal, Elliott, Porter-Bass and Occidental Road Vineyards and made with 35% whole clusters, the 2015 Pinot Noir Costalina is a racy, elegant Pinot Noir that still packs plenty of fruit and depth. Spiced cherries, exotic flowers, blood orange, and mint all emerge from this medium-bodied, impeccably balanced 2015 that has nicely integrated acidity, awesome purity, and a great finish. Drink this smoking value anytime over the coming decade or more.
