Tasting notes
The 2014 Pinot Noir Winery Block comes from the original Pinot Noir plantings established in 2001. The wine is pale to medium ruby-purple in color and has a very pretty nose of rose petals, cinnamon stick and lavender with a core of red cherries, raspberry leaves and anise, plus a waft of underbrush. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers a lot of structure with firm, ripe, rounded tannins and plenty of vivacity, finishing long with herb and earth layers.

Deep red. Powerful red and dark berry scents are complicated by suggestions of smoky minerals, allspice and violet, and a subtle hint of cola emerges with air. Broad and chewy in texture, offering sweet blackberry and cherry cola flavors, a touch of licorice and a jolt of peppery spices. Velvety tannins fold smoothly into the clinging, sappy dark fruit on the impressively persistent finish, which strongly echoes the cherry note. A substantial Pinot, in keeping with the vintage, but there's really good energy here as well.
