Pinot Noir

Gundlach-Bundschu Pinot Noir 2015 Review

A very elegant, lively Pinot that has the ripe, fruity qualities that are a calling card of Cali wine, along with the light touch and elegance often associated with “old world” or “new California” style wines. You'll find aromas and flavors of raspberries, blackberries, and cherries, along with a whiff of baking spices and tar. It’s savory, bright, and fun. You'll like this wine if you're looking for a Cali Pinot that's complex but not too heavy.
