Fullerton Fir Crest Pinot Noir 2015 (750ML)

91 VM / 90 WE

33% new French oak. Bright red. Ripe red berry, cola and mocha scents are sharpened by a suggestion of white pepper. Appealingly sweet and energetic on the palate, offering nicely concentrated raspberry and spicecake flavors firmed by a spine of juicy acidity. Closes with zesty, spicy cut, supple tannins and very good tenacity, leaving a hint of bitter cherry pit behind.-Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media

Smooth, light and quite tasty, this is ready to drink. Its cocoa and pretty cherry flavors combine gracefully. Despite including one third whole clusters in the fermentation, there's none of the aggressive stemminess that sometimes can occur. - Wine Enthusiast
