2016 Fallon Place Herbitage Vineyard Los Carneros Pinot Noir

14.1% alc., pH 3.46, TA 0.65, 110 cases, $38. Single clone. Aged 18 months in neutral French oak barrels. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Upon opening, aromas of cherry, baking spices, earth and dust lead off. Light to mid weight in composure, featuring a core of red berry and cherry fruits with a sidecar of spice and herbs. Very easygoing, with a silken texture and gentle tannins. More appealing when tasted later in the day from a previously opened bottle. Score: 91. Reviewed June 9, 2018
