2014 Carpenter Old Road #3 Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

13.6% alc., 325 cases, $40. Swan and La Tache selections, Pommard clone. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. A lighter styled wine that starts out strong upon opening, but becomes less appealing over time and when tasted the following day from a previously opened bottle. Aromas of black cherry, spice and oak barrel. Flavors of black cherry, black raspberry and subtle raisin with energetic oak support, modest tannins and a short finish. Score: 87.
