2014 Cerise Pinot Noir, Knez Winery, Anderson Valley

2014 Cerise Pinot Noir, Knez Winery, Anderson Valley

The Cerise is seductive on the nose, with plush fruits and fresh herbs rising up from the glass. That ripeness follows on to an intense palate, that's balanced by lacy acidity and rounded tannins. There's a lot going on, but it's wonderfully harmonious.

Tasting notes

Dark red and purplish hued fruits, wild flowers, mint, spices and rose petal notes meld together in the 2014 Pinot Noir Cerise Vineyard. The Cerise is deceptively medium in body, but it packs serious intensity. Expressive, floral-infused aromatics give the Cerise its inner sweetness and perfume, while beams of underlying tannin give the wine its shape. This is another superb wine from Knez.
