2016 BLACK KITE SOBERANES VINEYARD PINOT NOIR "There's a rugged and burly quality to this single-vineyard expression, starting with aromas of roast pork in a pan sauce of cranberry, mulberry, dried herbs and cracked pepper. The hearty palate layers pomegranate and plum alongside chai spice, bay leaf and sage." 92 Points "Vivid red. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red and dark berries, vanilla and candied flowers, along with smoky mineral and exotic spice overtones. Shows impressive depth as well as energy on the palate, offering sappy, concentrated black raspberry, cherry cola and spicecake flavors supported by a spine of juicy acidity. Closes with building spiciness, smooth tannins and impressive, mineral-driven persistence." 93 Points
