Claiborne & Churchill 2015 Greengate Ranch & Vineyard Pinot Noir (Edna Valley)

Country: US / Greengate Ranch & Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Claiborne & Churchill / Edna Valley

A lush and expressive bottling from a brand new vineyard, this shows candied black cherry, Vietnamese coffee, baking spice and licorice on the approachable nose. The ripeness extends to the palate, hemmed in by a tannic structure that ensures long aging. Asian pepper, rum barrel, caramel and cherry flavors complete the picture.
