2014 J Vineyards Pinot Noir Bow Tie Vineyard Russian River Valley

The 2014 Pinot Noir Bow Tie Vineyard is 100% Pinot Noir from four clones – 943, 667, Swan and Pommard. This was aged 13 months in French oak, of which 40% was new. It is a more limited production cuvée, but a deeper, richer, more primordial style of Pinot Noir with more dense fruit, more body, structure and depth. It offers plenty of black cherries and blacker currants in a medium to full-bodied, more Côte de Nuit style compared to its sibling. It should drink well for 4-5 years.
