Brilliant ruby-red. Deep-pitched, smoke-accented red and dark berry, vanilla, floral pastille and mocha scents are energized by a potent mineral topnote. Weighty yet lively as well, showing impressive clarity to the sweet black raspberry, cherry cola and spicecake flavors, which spread out slowly on the back half. Shows serious power and dark berry thrust on a very long, smooth finish that hides its youthful tannins well. (58% new French oak)

This has a very vibrant style, the sunny, breezy site delivering a very expressive, round and fleshy style with plenty of dark cherries and deeper, spicy, earthy notes. Long, spicy finish and great concentration. Drink or hold.

The 2015 Pinot Noir Cote Sud is pale to medium ruby-purple in color with a nose of black cherries, currants and licorice plus touches of crushed blueberries, oolong tea leaves and underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, it's packed with warm black fruits segueing into nutmeg and cardamom spice, with a good frame of grainy tannins and juicy acidity, finishing long and minerally.
