Tasting notes
The Capiaux 2015 Pinot Noir Chimera is plump, juicy and expressive, with all of the richness and lushness of the vintage. Bright red cherry and pomegranate flavors are propped up by bright veins of salinity and aromatic lift that give the wine its brilliance. The blend of sites, all from Russian River, works beautifully here.

His 2015 Pinot Noir Chimera comes primarily from Russian River vineyards but a tiny percentage is from the Sonoma Coast and even a drop or two from the Santa Lucia Highlands. This wine has a deep ruby color and a big, sweet kiss of raspberry, black cherry, incense and floral notes. It is medium-bodied, lush, long and again, sexy and heady. It is one of his biggest cuvées (925 cases). It should be drunk over the next 4-6 years.
