The 2015 Pinot Noir Alfaro Family Vineyard from Big Basin offers up a deep bouquet of plums, raspberries, forest floor and currant leaf, with some whole-cluster spice on the upper register. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, richly layered and savory, structured around fine-grained but chewy tannins, some of them stem-derived, and balanced by juicy acids. Nicely concentrated and balanced, this is also quite youthfully tight-knit and will need a few years in the cellar to unwind.
