Muted earth, rhubarb, tea leaves are joined with incredible ripe black cherry aromas that welcome you to this 2015 Truchard Vineyards Pinot Noir. I found the color of this wine stunning and deeper than a majority of the Pinot Noir currently available. It's sexy and the wine is very fine with a balanced acidity that doesn't necessarily give complexity, but it does make for a memorable finish. Flavors of strawberry jam, cranberry, spices and plum are dominant and delicious. This Pinot has about the perfect amount of sweetness for me and I'd call this one "elegant".
