Angeline, Mendocino and Sonoma Counties (California) Pinot Noir 2015

Jan 19, 2017

By Michael Franz

This wine is quite good almost every year, and 2015 is certainly no exception.  It shows plenty of depth and fruit flavor at this young age, but thankfully it is vinous rather than grapey, and has enough acidity to stay fresh through the notably long finish.  Pinot Noir is inherently resistant to being made by industrial methods and consequently is usually either cheap or good — but almost never both.  This one is both.
