WindVane Estate Pinot Noir 2015 Review
Cool Carneros creates a Pinot Noir with sunny, end-of-summer mixed berry fruit and blooming rose on the nose, with undertones of cinnamon. Earth and spicy green sprouts provide balance to the fruit-forward palate, though underripe tannins keep the flavors from truly singing.
