Made mostly from Pinot Noir fruit that didn’t make the cut for Talbott’s Sleepy Hollow Vineyard-designated wine, this wine has decent raspberry fruit and interesting earthy notes in the aroma, but the oak is a bit too noticeable on the palate, and it’s a tad cloying on the finish. I’d like it a lot more at under $15.
