The 2014 Skywalker Pinot Noir is immediately present in the glass with its deep ruby color and brazen aromas of fading roses, wild berries and dark cola spice. On the palate the wine appears tightly wound with firm acidity and bright mineral tones but yields to a dense core of ripe red and blue fruits, spice and a lasting finish of warm pastry and vanilla from the extended barrel aging in French oak barrels. Of note is that this is the first release of a Pinot Noir made in the new winery at Skywalker Vineyards.
