Tasting notes
The 2014 Pinot Noir la Source Seven Springs Vineyard is pale to medium ruby with a nose of green peppercorn and sliced prosciutto over forest floor and warm blackberries. Medium-bodied, it gives lovely meaty flavors in the mouth with leafy accents, a very firm frame of grainy tannins and juicy acidity, finishing long and minerally. 1,611 cases produced.

Fine, vivid acid with soft tannins and a touch of earthy complexity. Excellent ripe red fruit. Drinking very well now. (RH)
From the upper portion of the historic Seven Springs vineyard. Aged in 30% new Ermitage barrels for 16 months. Opening with aromatics of mushroom reduction and fresh berries, the palate evolves into bright bursts of cranberry and a persistent wash of mineral sapidity. The tannins are pleasantly fine and resolved here coupled with mouth-watering acidity carrying through a long finish. Nice cohesiveness and completeness. This wine becomes more savoury with air also gaining accents of powdery birch bark, while still retaining a bright fruit lift. Drink now for a focus on freshness or hold it in the cellar to gain additional depth and complexity. Will evolve well with time in the cellar. (ECB)
