Note di degustazione
The Hapgood is the most obviously ripe and flamboyant 2015 Brewer-Clifton Pinot Noir. In many ways, it harks back to the older style of Brewer-Clifton wines. Even so, this site appears to naturally excel in this style. Hard candy, cola, menthol and spice build as this racy Pinot shows off its extroverted personality.

Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Hapgood has notes of black cherries and black raspberries with hints of black pepper, dried herbs and damp earth. Medium to full-bodied, rich, densely and superbly structured with grainy tannins and a racy acid line, it has an epically long, complex finish. Yum.
Another ripe, sexy, voluptuous effort is the 2015 Pinot Noir Hapgood, and I always love this cuvée. Coming from a site just beside the Machado Vineyard, it never lacks for oomph and the 2015 gives up lots of kirsch, strawberry and framboise notes, with more spice, dried earth, flowers and savory herb notes in the background. Ripe, full-bodied and powerful, it still stays gracefully and lively, with a great finish. This is a classic Sta. Rita Hills Pinot made with the idea to show exactly what this terrific terroir can deliver.
