The 2014 Pinot Noir Sweet Water is largely from three clones – the Pommard clone, the Rochioli Selection, and the Dijon clone 115. This wine has a deep ruby/purple color, a sweet nose of black raspberries, strawberries and cherries, great fruit on the attack, full body, and an opulent, rich mouthfeel with good acidity, purity, and length. Without a trace of over-ripeness, this concentrated wine should drink well for at least a decade.

The 2014 Pinot Noir Sweetwater is overt, juicy and forward, with lovely intensity and presence. Succulent red cherry, pomegranate, rose petal, plum, tobacco, menthol and new leather flesh out effortlessly. Drink this forward, juicy, mid-weight Pinot over the next few years.
