2015 Two Sisters Lindsay’s Vineyard Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
13.9% alc., pH 3.60, TA 0.68, $49.99. Clones
667 and 777. Average harvest Brix 25º. 100% de-stemmed with no crushing and cold soaked in open-top
fermenters. Manual punch downs. Aged 16 months in French oak barrels, 80% new.
·
Moderately light garnet color
in the glass. The nose is largely dominated by oak-related aromas. Enviable core of oak-kissed purple grape,
Hoisin sauce and black cherry flavors wrapped in modest tannins. Seductively silky in texture with noticeable
purity of fruit, Better oak integration, more fruit aromas and overall a better drinking experience when re-tasted
two days later from a previously opened and re-corked bottle.
Score: 90.

2015 Two Sisters Lindsay’s Vineyard Reserve Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
14.3% alc., pH 3.57, TA 0.67, 301 cases. $80. Extremely heavy
bottle. Clones 667 and 777. Average harvest Brix 25º. 100% destemmed
with no crushing and cold soaked in open-top fermenters.
Manual punch downs. 70% MLF. Aged 16 months in French oak barrels,
100% new.
·
Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Splendid aromas of
black cherry, earth, herbs and toasty oak. Rich, full and sweet on the
palate in a full-bodied style offering a plush black cherry fruit core
accented by toast and licorice notes. The tannins are folded in and their
is enough acidity for freshness. This is clearly a serious wine with
intentions, but it will need more time in bottle to integrate more of the oak
and reach full expression. Exceptional when tasted two days later from a
previously opened and re-corked bottle.
Score: 93.

featuring ripe stone and tropical fruit flavors along with oak embellishments of toffee and caramel.
