Pale to medium ruby-purple, the 2016 Pinot Noir Allen Vineyard has a bright, open nose of Bing cherry, prosciutto, dried leaves, tricolored peppercorn, mushroom and blackberry with red berry sparks and rose petal perfume. Light to medium-bodied, it's open for business in the mouth, giving up a great interplay of earth and bright fruits. It's got a firm frame of chalky tannins and mouthwatering acidity, finishing very long and spicy. This is wonderful! With its more serious character and frame, this will require another couple of years in bottle at least. 290 cases produced.
