Tasting Notes

Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Block 5 Pinot Noir is youthfully reticent, offering delicate earth and floral notes over a core of red berries and pomegranate, plus a waft of garrigue. Light to medium-bodied, it has a fine backbone of satiny textured tannins and just enough acid to carry the perfumed fruit to a good, long finish. Give it another couple of years in bottle to see it really strut its stuff. Drink Date 2018 - 2025
