    This ripe, wood-aged wine has fragrant red-cherry flavors and good acidity. It's still young, so it does have some bitterness, although the rich fruits and structure all point to a good future. Drink from 2017.

    Touches of toast and tannin give enough structure. The red berry fruits taste firm and extracted, giving a bitter edge. It's a wine that brings out the structured character of Pinot Noir rather than its fruit.

    The wine shows good depth along with suggestions of oak aging. It is ripe, full in the mouth and generous. Tropical fruits, orange zest and citrus combine well. The aftertaste shows a nutty bite. Drink now, or age until 2016–2017.
