Description
The 2015 Pinot Noir Estate showcases Mount Eden’s darker, brooding side with a smoldering nose of dried black fruits, damp earth, tobacco leaves and cracked leather. It is supple and round in texture, with soft acidity lightly bracing the edges of the palate. It is initially inward and closed on the finish before unclenching and continuing the savory, earth-driven style found throughout. This is a contemplative vintage that could be in an awkward phase, in need of immense aeration, or both.
