Patricia Green Balcombe Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015 (750ML)

94 VM / 92 DE

(20% whole clusters and 8% new oak) Brilliant ruby-red. Highly perfumed and expansive on the nose, displaying intense dark fruit and floral scents complemented by Moroccan spice and smoky mineral flourishes. Stains the palate with concentrated black raspberry, bitter cherry and spicecake flavors that deepen and become sweeter with air. This rich but distinctly elegant, well-balanced Pinot finishes sweet, spicy and very long, featuring molten tannins and an echo of candied rose. - Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media

From 27 year old vines in the Dundee Hills, the Balcombe Vineyard Pinot Noir reveals a complex and very typical bouquet of red berry fruit, cinnamon and coniferous forest floor. On the palate, the wine is supple and velvety, with a juicy core of acidity and a savoury edge to its tannins. - Decanter
