Big Table Farm 2015 Pelos Sandberg Vineyard Pinot Noir

Big Table Farm 2015 Pelos Sandberg Vineyard Pinot Noir

Often with dinner I pull an older bottle or two from my cellar, not only for enjoyment, but also to check on the development of certain wines from specific vintages. This wine, first tasted six years ago, has developed into a jaw-droppingly great Pinot Noir. From the instant the cork was pulled the aromatics enveloped and enchanted. The color too was a perfect example of nicely-aged Pinot Noir, not too dark, a lush sunset hue. The flavors cascaded endlessly through a panoply of citrus and stone fruits, berries and pastry fillings. It was a wine that we carefully nurtured and savored throughout a long late spring twilight, and down to the last drop it was thrilling. Both from the cellar and still quite worthy of more time in the cellar, if you are fortunate enough to have any BTF Pinots from this vintage, now would be a great time to check in. 402 cases; 13.3%; $48 (original price) (Eola-Amity Hills) 96/100
