Year of the Monkey Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016

Pop and pour. A radiant medium ruby red color with a purplish hue. On the nose: candied raspberry, dried herbs, earth, pepper, cherries, tea, slight vanilla. Taste: A smooth, creamy, rich, nicely structured wine with dark cherry, cola, ruby red grapefruit, some earth, and a spiced tart plum finish. YUM! — 4 years ago

DAY19
Best on this day
👃Fruit, tobacco, & cedar in equal parts
👅Silky. Refined personality. So pleasant. Nice herbal and tobacco followed by cedar on the persistent finish. Tannins are soft. Solid wine 👍

One of the pleasures of your reviews is the short but always interesting history of the vineyard, company or person behind the wine and bottle.

Heady perfume of flowers and plush dark berries. On the palate, strawberries and dark berries. Oakiness in the base note. This wine has no business being this sexy. — 9 months ago
