2014 Phantom Ranch Pinot Noir

Sold Out
 

Description

We are proud to present our second Phantom Ranch offering, a 50/50 balance of two highly-regarded Pinot Noir clones: Pommard and 115. Hand-selected from our most picturesque vineyard in Carneros, this elegant Pinot Noir was planted specifically for the Laird Family and vinted under the direction of consulting winemaker Paul Hobbs.

Tasting Notes

The aroma is a brilliant medley of rose petals, black cherry, liquorice, and cedar. As the wine hits your palate, the lively acidity is evocative of tart strawberries, while undertones of toffee and marzipan slowly make their presence. The ripe tannins are well-integrated and allow for a lingering finish.
