Description

This wine is a quintessential example of the high pedigree of fruit from the fabled Bien Nacido vineyard in the Santa Maria Valley.

Big, rich and velvety on the palate with loads of forward cherry & strawberry fruit framed in with complex spice, cola and toast characteristics. This wine is eminently drinkable today but also has a great track record of aging for 8-10 years. Cheers!

 

Wine Critic Reviews
"Pale to medium ruby-purple colored...has a beautifully intense core of black raspberries and black cherries over a violets, fragrant earth and baking spice perfume. Medium-bodied, it fills the palate with ripe red and black berry flavors, supported by fine-grained tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with lingering spicy layers." ~ Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Rich red cherry, rust, smoke and crushed gravel aromas show on the nose of this bottling from the historic vineyard. Smoked meat, lavender and rose petal notes play with cranberry, pomegranate and hibiscus flavors, creating a pleasant mix of delicate and savory elements." ~ Wine Enthusiast "Ripe and rich-tasting, with plenty of cedary and savory notes to the ripe cherry, berry and damson plum flavors. Creamy accents extend on the seductively spicy finish." ~ Wine Spectator "A powerful, bold wine, the 2015 Pinot Noir Bien Nacido Vineyard offers serious flavor intensity and depth..." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous
