Carneros Pinot Noir Reviews

Score: 88 | July 1, 2014 | Wine Enthusiast
Although the wine is labeled a Vineyard Designate, it’s a blend of multimple vineyards. Dry, fairly full-bodied and tannic, it has complex cherry, currant, licorice and sandalwood flavors.

Round and full bodied, this is a lightly oaked, ripely flavored wine with good balance, and a long, lightly oaky finish. It tastes of plum, cherry, toast, rose petal, sage and raspberry.

This is appealing for its focused savory herb and dried berry flavors. A cedary, loamy earth aftertaste marks the finish. One of James Laube's recommended California Pinot Noirs.

This Pinot is appealing for its focused savory herb and dried berry flavors, which gain depth and complexity. A cedarly, loamy earth aftertaste marks the finish. Drink now through 2017.
