Tasting notes
(50% new French oak): Bright ruby-red. Displays fragrant red and dark berry liqueur, incense and succulent floral scents, along with hints of candied flowers and woodsmoke that builds as the wine stretches out. Sweet and penetrating, offers intense cherry and black raspberry flavors that deepen and spread out slowly on the back half. Rich yet surprisingly lively as well, with strong finishing thrust, strong persistence and smooth, even tannins lending framework and gentle grip.

The 2015 Pinot Noir Sleepy Hollow Vineyard offers more baking spices as well as darker raspberry fruit, medium to full-bodied richness, good concentration, and just a bigger, richer feel than the Logan release. It has some present tannin as well and will be even better with another year or so in bottle. It's a terrific wine.
Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Sleepy Hollow Vineyard has a nose of crushed raspberries, cranberries and forest floor with hints of potpourri and cinnamon stick. Medium-bodied with velvety tannins and lovely freshness, it has exuberant red berry flavors and a good long earth-laced finish.
