2015 Small Vines Pinot Noir Baranoff Vineyard Russian River Valley

Six months ago this was disappointing. That appears to have been a bad bottle because this one was quite nice. Gorgeous nose of lavender and cherries. On the palate there are tart cherries, raspberries. Bright strawberry notes appear with food. Fine tannins, vibrant acidity, nice balance. Finishes long with black cherries and spice. Needs 3 to 5 years top peak, but very nice right now. I'd suggest decanting it in the short term. Lovely stuff. "A-"
