Baxter Winery, Anderson Valley (Mendocino County, California) Pinot Noir 2015

Oct 9, 2018

By Rich Cook

 Run Dog Vineyard is tiny – just .7 acre — that is planted to clones 114 and Pommard.  Small but mighty, I’d say!  This wine is wildly floral on the nose, with pine and forest floor joining high toned cherry and fall spice.  The palate folds the elements together beautifully with a silky entry and a trailing pop of acidity.  A touch of pepper joins the fruit in a bright, mouth-watering finish.
