The 2015 Monogram Pinot Noir aged 18 months in 90% new French oak. Pale to medium ruby, it takes time to open to notes of toasted coconut, pipe tobacco, bergamot, oolong tea leaves, laurel and underbrush over pure blackberries, black currants and black cherries plus notes of blue fruits, cured meats and pepper. Medium-bodied, silky and intense, it blossoms in the mouth with oodles of spices, flowers, fruits and earth flavors, expertly framed by pixelated tannins and seamless acidity, finishing very long and flavorful. This merits another year or two in bottle.
