2014 Rice Spvak Vineyard Pinot Noir

The 2014 Pinot Noir Rice-Spivak is soft, succulent and vibrant. Red stone fruit, citrus peel, spice and rose petal add perfume and the aromatic sensuality that is so typical of the Swan Pinot clone. Understated and classy, the 2014 has just enough fruit to fill out its frame. Even so, my impression is that a bit more depth would not have been a bad thing. Crushed flowers and intensely floral notes round things out in style.
