2016 Shadowbox Pinot Noir Lawler Vineyard Carneros

As with every vintage, this pinot noir continues to amaze us from its sexy dark ruby color to a lengthy, lingering finish. A sniff fills the nose with toasty allspice, fragrant violets, and ripe dark cherries, while the palate shows layers and layers of blood orange zest, forest floor, red currant and a hint of white pepper. Lively acidity and fine tannins dance toward a finish of savory truffle.
