From own-rooted vines planted in the 1980s, the 2016 Pinot Noir Bishop Creek Vineyard is pale to medium ruby with a wonderful deep, broody nose of warm black cherries, blueberry and boysenberry preserves with touches of blue flowers, peppercorn and dried leaves. Light to medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with ripe black and blue fruits flavors and faint meaty/earthy touches, with a firm frame of grainy tannins and juicy acidity, finishing long and minerally. 150 cases produced.
This has a wealth of red-cherry and mocha-scented spice aromas in a very impacted and earthy style that has complex yet pure fruit appeal. The palate has a sense of depth and finesse that really highlights the red cherries. Very plush and precise. This is great pinot noir.
