Rating

Wine Spectator
Lissome and polished, with expressive violet and blueberry aromas and precise but richly complex flavors of plum, mineral and spiced cinnamon. Finishes with refined and steely tannins. Drink now through 2023. 471 cases made. — TF Įvertinimas: 94

Wine Advocate
Medium ruby in color, the 2015 Pinot Noir Mimi's Mind has just a touch of flinty reduction on the nose to begin, opening out to black cherry, wild blackberry, dried lavender and warm earth with spices in the background. Light to medium-bodied, it’s silky in the mouth with concentrated red and black fruits, spices and notes of dusty soil and autumn leaves. It has a frame of firm, grainy tannins and wonderful juicy acidity to lift the long spicy finish. Give this another year or two in bottle. Įvertinimas: 91+
