Tasting notes
Cherry and orange please the palate immediately, with a subversive note of peat and forest—it's a good commingling of fruit and exotic savory elements that remain memorable through the lengthy complexity of medium-bodied, velvety texture and weight. This wine is so good now it'd be hard to set it down, but it will reward cellaring, through 2024. — Virginie Boone

The 2014 Pinot Noir Terra de Promissio is dark, fleshy and powerful. Juicy black cherries, tobacco, smoke, black olives and herbs take center stage. Pungent and also tannic, the 2014 is going to need a bit of time. Like all of these 2014s, though, the Terra de Promissio is super expressive. A host of mineral and saline notes round out the deep, resonant finish.
