2015 Tardy Pinot Noir Magnum
Description
In 2015 the growing conditions, from bud break through harvest, paved the way for virtually pristine fruit. A warmer than usual season caused grape clusters to be far larger than usual. The unique weather patterns and our decision to hang extra fruit resulted in a more gradual maturation, and extraordinary flavors that balanced against acids beautifully. Provides 8-10 servings per bottle.
Tasting Notes
Soft floral bouquet aromas, notes of vanilla and barrel spice, crisp bright fruit flavors that coats the entire palate leading to a smooth lingering finish. Drink now through 2028 for best results.

Vibrant red color. Aromatics of dark cherry, rose petal, raspberry fill the glass. A lively Pinot Noir with round flavors of cherry and black raspberry with pleasing weight. Finishes with lenght, fine tannins and spice. Look for even more impressive development with a couple of years of bottle age.
