The Pinot was sourced from two Carneros estates -- the Rancho Carneros Vineyard and the Hyde Vineyard. The wine begins with aromas of cardamom, red currant and red raspberry with dried sage. There are rich flavors of red raspberry, pipe tobacco, dried cranberry and red cherry with hints of blood orange rind. There is a gorgeous and subtle citrus component to the wine. Impossible to resist right now, this drinks beautifully straight out of the bottle. Kudos to head winemaker Genevieve Janssens for crafting this very compelling bottling that showcases this amazing vintage in Carneros. (Best 2016-2025) - May, 2016 (OB)
