Note di degustazione
Translucent red. Powerful, mineral-accented red berry and lavender pastille scents show outstanding clarity and pick up notes of exotic spices and savory herbs with air. Sweet and penetrating on the palate, offering sharply delineated raspberry, cherry and spicecake flavors with appealing spiciness and an energizing crack of smoky minerality. This concentrated yet nervy wine closes with superb, mineral-driven cut and shows no rough edges. Fine-grained tannins fade away quickly on a strikingly long, floral-dominated finish that leaves a hint of baking spices behind. (all Pommard clone; 12% new oak)

From vines planted beginning in 1974 at 900 feet in elevation, the 2015 Pinot Noir Daphne Vineyard is pale to medium ruby-purple in color with a wonderful, open nose with gobs of pure fruit: baked cranberries, warm red cherries and crushed blueberries with layers of rose petal, Earl Grey tea leaves, blood orange peel, pink peppercorn and cola. Light to medium-bodied, it floods the palate with wonderful waves of red and blue fruit accented with exotic spices, autumn leaves, touches of prosciutto and floral perfume, with soft, finely grained tannins and mouthwatering acidity. This has electric intensity and energy in the mouth, finishing very long, very lovely and very layered.
