Tasting notes
Jewelly, slightly obvious fruit and lifted. Sort of on the cusp between 20th- and 21st-century style! Just enough savour on the end though very complete. Well behaved. (JR)

Vivid red. Ripe red fruits, potpourri and a hint of blood orange on the assertively perfumed nose, lifted by a vibrant mineral quality. Silky and precise on the palate, offering alluringly sweet, spice-tinged cherry and raspberry liqueur flavors and a hint of five-spice powder. Becomes richer with air, with no loss of vibrancy, and finishes with powerful, spicy thrust, fine-grained tannins and an exotic floral pastille note that lingers with serious tenacity.
Pale to medium ruby-purple, the 2015 Pinot Noir Jessie Vineyard is scented of kirsch, mulberries and raspberry tart with underlying Chinese five spice, hoisin and mossy bark hints. Medium-bodied, there's a very seductive mid-palate of red berry and exotic spice flavors, supported by velvety tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with spicy layers.
The 2015 Pinot Noir Jessie Vineyard mixes crushed black cherries with cola, balsamic spice and nuances of blood orange. Juicy and nearly fleshy in feel, it offers cooling acidity to balance as violet-laced red and blue fruits sweep across the palate. Adolescent tannins resonate throughout as he 2015 finishes with mouthwatering acidity.
