Tasting notes
The 2016 Pinot Noir Los Alamos Vineyard comes from the sandy soils of the Los Alamos Vineyard and has lots of framboise, spice, and dried flower notes in an ethereal, elegant, seamless package. There's some background herbal/stemmy notes, but it has a remarkable vibrancy and purity and a clean finish. It's a beautiful Pinot Noir!

The 2016 Pinot Noir Los Alamos Vineyard is delicate and lifted in the glass. Sweet dried cherry, mint tobacco, dried herbs, sage and crushed leaves add to the wine's aromatic depth. Silky and polished, with striking nuance, the 2016 is all class. I loved it.
Translucent pale ruby in hue, the 2016 Pinot Noir Los Alamos Vineyard offers up an earthy bouquet of beetroot, spice, citrus rind and cola. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, supple and open-knit, albeit a little ephemeral, with melting tannins and juicy acids. This is structured for near-term consumption.
