Note di degustazione
(14.1% alcohol; 3.44 pH): Bright medium red. The nose initially displayed an element of reduction but gained dramatically in perfume and freshness with aeration, showcasing fresh scents of red fruits, spices, menthol and sweet oak. Then plush but elegant and precise in the mouth, conveying terrific lift to its flavors of red fruits, flowers and spices. Finishes with seamless, refined tannins and terrific slow-building persistence. Really lovely intensity here, from an average-size crop. The season was "normal from flowering to harvest but very early," according to Mangahas.

Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2014 Pinot Noir Allen Vineyard delivers expressive spice notes of cloves, cinnamon and anise over a red currant, red cherry and lavender core. The well-structured, medium-bodied palate packs-in a great intensity of fruit, finishing with lingering mineral notes.
The 2014 Pinot Noir Allen Vineyard is immediate, forward and juicy, all qualities that make it easy to appreciate today. Although the Allen is not the most complex of these wines, it has a certain immediacy that is highly attractive. Silky tannins and succulent fruit are the signatures.
