Tasting notes
Black cherry, mocha, new leather, dark spices and menthol infuse Mondavi's 2015 Pinot Noir Reserve. Juicy, bold and voluptuous in the glass, the 2015 is decidedly lush and fruit-forward. All the elements meld together effortlessly. The 2015 was done with some whole clusters, but it is the juiciness of the fruit that stands out most.

The 2015 Pinot Noir Reserve is medium ruby-purple colored with a nose of raspberry preserves, mulberries and potpourri with touches of baking spices and dried herbs. Medium-bodied, it's earthy and a little uncomplicated in the mouth with chewy, rather rustic tannins and an herbal finish.
Dried cherries, raspberries, forest floor and earthy nuances all emerge from the 2015 Pinot Noir Reserve and it’s lively and juicy, with a distinct floral developing with time in the glass. With a medium-bodied, balanced, vibrant style, it’s a charming, lengthy, enjoyable effort to drink over the coming 4-6 years.
