Tasting notes
The 2015 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Block 43 is absolutely striking. Large-scaled and ample in feel, the 2015 possesses remarkable richness in every dimension. Floral notes add lift to a core of succulent red cherry fruit. The Block 43 is a big, ample Pinot with exceptional balance and class to burn. Here, too, the best 2015 has to offer is very much on display.

Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Block 43 Bien Nacido Vineyard is scented of cherry cordial and cranberry sauce with touches of stewed tea, red roses and underbrush, plus a hint of pencil shavings. The medium-bodied palate offers a great intensity of red berry and savory layers, supported by firm, grainy tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long with a pleasant herbal lift.
One of the riper, richer wines in the lineup, the 2015 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard Block 43 offers beautiful notes of framboise, dried spices and earth, with full-bodied richness, a rounded, textured and mouth filling style and a great finish. In a vintage that yields mostly hard, austere wines, this offers fruit!
