2015 Sonoma County Pinot Noir

The explosive nose of alpine strawberry, red cherry and black raspberry give way to notes of sandalwood, bergamot, and dried sage leaves. A subtle note of pencil shavings or graphite add another layer of depth. The palate leads with flavors of plum and black cherry, and melds into notes of black tea in the middle palate. The finish has a nice citrus peel lift and is punctuated by a cherry pit sensation.
