2015 Pinot Noir Estate Vineyard Russian River Valley Deloach

The 2015 Pinot Noir Estate is a solid, complex effort. Darker berry fruits, earth, spice, and some smoky/charcoal notes define the nose. It's medium-bodied, rounded, beautifully textured and elegant on the palate, with fine tannin, and a layered, seamless texture. This is one of those wines that grows on you with time in the glass and I expect it will gain a touch more complexity with a year or two in bottle.

This is a great value for the quality, a smooth full-bodied appellation red that's bright in acidity and textured tannin. The fruit is dark, brooding and stemmy, with underlying tones of earth and cola spice.
