"A notably ripe nose features notes of poached plum, spice, violet and whiffs of menthol and mocha. There is excellent volume to the velvety and suave medium weight flavors that are currently shaped by somewhat raspy tannins that are borderline inelegant yet the depth is first-rate on the ever-so-mildly warm finale. While this bold effort won't win any awards for elegance, it certainly can't be faulted for a lack of character."

"A wine of gravitas and pure power, the 2015 Pinot Noir Home Vineyard is a real stunner. The 100% whole clusters are pretty much buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. This is an absolutely captivating wine in every way. Like so many of these 2015s, the Home is going to require many years to be at its very best. Even so, its potential is amply evident today." -Antonio Galloni

"Offering up aromas of ripe cherries, cassis, potpourri and spices, the 2015 Pinot Noir Home Vineyard is full-bodied, ample and layered, with a deep core of ripe fruit and juicy balancing acids, framed by fine-grained but firm, youthfully chewy tannins that make it one of the most overtly structural wines in the range this year. The story is the same in the 2016 vintage, but if anything, the 2015 is even more in need of bottle age. Forget it for a minimum of 5 or 6 years. At full maturity, I suspect it will reveal a textural plushness that will surprise anyone who tastes it today." -William Kelley
