Buying options
Tasting notes
Deep bright-rimmed red. A complex, expansive bouquet evokes fresh red and blue fruits, potpourri and smoky minerals, backed by a sexy Asian spice flourish. Shows impressive energy and tension on the palate, offering gently sweet raspberry and boysenberry flavors that are underscored and sharpened by a peppery spice nuance. Shows outstanding clarity and floral lift on the strikingly long, penetrating finish, which is shaped by smooth, well-judged tannins.

Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the 2014 Pinot Noir Original Vines Reserve has a fragrant nose of rose petals and pomegranate over suggestions of anise, dried Mediterranean herbs, chargrill and fungi. Light-bodied and quite tightly-wound at this youthful stage, it has a great intensity of delicate red berry and earth flavors with chewy tannins and good persistence.
