TASTING NOTE: Richer and fuller to no one's surprise, considering the vintage, with darkness clouding the fruit. This vintage seems to dig in deeper, to where crust, chalk, grain and density lay. A very earnest Pinot Noir in which elegance is investigated within the catchment of a hot year. Drink 2015-2018. Tasted June 2015. (Michael Godel, godello.ca, Dec. 24, 2015) Price $ 29.95
