Coming from Pommard clone vines planted in 1979, the 2015 Pinot Noir Southeast Block has a pale to medium ruby-purple color and conjures notions of cherry cordial, raspberry preserves and mulberries on the nose with touches of baking spice, chocolate box and anise, plus a waft of black soil. The palate is wonderfully spicy and earthy, with a medium-bodied core of flesh well-framed by velvety tannins and great freshness, finishing with lingering cinnamon and clove notes.
