The medium ruby colored 2014 Pinot Noir from Chamisal Vineyard is a rock solid effort was completely destemmed and aged ten months in 22% new French oak. Medium-bodied, nicely textured and elegant, with ripe tannin, lots of spice, potpourri and sweet black cherry aromas and flavors, and a solid finish, it should drink nicely through 2021.

The 2012 Pinot Noir is a beauty. Perfumed, up front and textured, it shows the vintage nicely with its spiced cherries, tar, crushed flowers and hints of licorice on the nose. Showing more floral notes with air, I love its overall purity and texture, and it should continue to drink nicely for another 3-4 years, if not longer. Coming from the Edna Valley and leaning heavily toward the fresher, elegant and lightly textured end of the spectrum, these are all noteworthy wines from Chamisal Vineyards. Tel.
