Tasting notes
The 2015 Pinot Noir Olivet Lane Vineyard is pale to medium ruby-purple in color and scented of rose hip tea, tilled soil and dried, fallen leaves with a core of red currants and cranberries plus a waft of potpourri. Medium-bodied and jam-packed with vivacious, youthful red fruit, it has a plush texture and invigorating finish. 302 cases produced.

The 2015 Pinot Noir Olivet Lane Vineyard shows the darker, more powerful side of the vintage. Succulent black cherry, lavender, licorice and new oak all flesh out in the glass. Here, too, the new oak needs time to integrate. That should not be an issue, as the 2015 won't be ready to offer its best drinking for at least another few years, if not longer.
