The more medium ruby-colored 2016 Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard has a terrific sappiness to it as well as loads of floral nuances, medium body, bright acidity, and straight up fabulous elegance. It’s not the biggest or richest in the lineup, yet is pure class, with perfect integration in its fruit, tannins, and acidity. It’s great today and will be great in a decade.
Limpid ruby. An exotically perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red berries, incense, vanilla and candied flowers, and a spicy nuance builds with aeration. Juicy and broad in the mouth, offering sweet Chambord, cherry cola and spicecake flavors that take on a smoky mineral quality on the back half. Plays power off finesse with a smooth hand and finishes impressively long and sweet, featuring fine-grained tannins and resonating spiciness.
