2015 Bella Vida "Tardy" Pinot Noir Magnum
Vintage Notes
In 2015 the growing conditions from bud break through harvest paved the way for virtually pristine fruit with minimal signs of disease and no fear of pest or bird effects. As spring turned to summer, conditions continued to be warmer than usual and consequentially grape clusters were far larger than typical. Most growers chose to slow down ripening by leaving extra fruit on the vine. As September gave way to standard weather patterns, the decision to hang extra fruit allowed it to mature more gradually and develop extraordinary flavors that harmoniously balance against acids.
Tasting Notes
Soft floral bouquet aromas, notes of vanilla and barrel spice, crisp bright fruit flavors that coats the entire palate leading to a smooth lingering finish.
