2016 Domaine A Pinot Noir

2016 Domaine A Pinot NoirDomaine A Pinot Noir is often a showcase of the incredibly concentrated fruit character of Stoney Vineyard, and this is no exception. Juicy, perfumed, ripe with berries (the full gamutraspberry, blueberry, blackberry) and floral bursts of violet, rosewood, cedar and nutmeg. Vivid and rich on the palate (with some nice rhubarb and mint developing) theres lively and refreshing acidity and great tannins before a long finish. An absolute treat.
