2015 Capiaux Widdoes Vineyard Pinot Noir

(93 Points) The 2015 Pinot Noir Widdoes Vineyard, which comes from the cold Green Valley sub-region of the Russian River, sees a lot of new oak by Capiaux's standards (65%). The wine displays a touch of smoky spice, almost barbecue-like notes in the background, but there's great fruit - black cherries, blackcurrants, and hints of floral and forest floor notes. This complex, multi-dimensional Pinot Noir is irresistible already but promises to drink well for another 5-7 years.  Robert Parker, Wine Advocate  December 30, 2016
