J Vineyards Pinot Noir 2015 Review
Friendly and juicy on the nose, with notes of Bing cherry, blueberry, mint, cinnamon, and potting soil, this is classic California Pinot Noir. With added spice along with that super ripe fruit, the palate offers a surprising balance of restraint and hedonism, balancing grippy tannins, round body, and just enough acidity.
