Fleur de Lis Vineyard

2014 Pinot Noir 750ml

Overview

The Fleur de Lis vineyard is located on the west-facing slope of the Evenstad Estate, next to Mark Bradford vineyard. The site's northern exposure and rocky, thin soil produces an elegantly feminine, Burgundian-style Pinot Noir, with a character that is expressively savory yet fruit-driven.

The 2014 Fleur de Lis Pinot Noir is deep ruby-red with aromas of ripe red currant, bright cherries, and holiday spices. The mouthfeel is round and generous with layers of cocoa and toasty oak unfolding with cranberry compote and blood orange.  The wine is complex and opulent, delivering a great balance between richness and flavor-driven intensity and wonderfully focused length.

With a long lasting finish, this wine is silky-smooth and showcases supple tannins that leave you wanting more.
