Patricia Green Volcanic Soil Pinot Noir 2015 (750ML)

93 VM / 90 DE

(7% new oak) Dark red. Expressive red and dark berry aromas are complicated by suggestions of smoky minerals, incense and candied flowers. Juicy, concentrated and supple in texture, offering sweet black raspberry, cherry cola and lavender flavors and a zesty jolt of peppery spices. The long, seamless finish features resonating florality and supple tannins that fold steadily into the clinging, sappy fruit. - Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media

In contrast to the Marine Sedimentary bottling, the Volcanic cuvée reveals predominantly red fruit tones with notes of smoke and aromatic bark. On the palate, the wine is more ample, with a fine-grained but firmer chassis of tannin, and more dimension. - Decanter
