Antonio Galloni - Vinous
The 2015 Pinot Noir Coast Grade Vineyard is more aromatic and less overt than the Hunter Hill tasted alongside it, but it shares a similar dark flavor profile with that wine. Succulent black cherry, herb, crushed flowers, hard candy, mint, orange zest and star anise add to a decidedly exotic, perfumed personality, with considerable whole cluster influence that adds layers of nuance, especially as the wine opens up with air.
