Entirely destemmed and aged 12 months in 20% new French oak, the pale to medium ruby-purple colored 2017 Pinot Noir Vanguard has a pretty nose of dried blueberries, rhubarb and warm red cherry with dusty earth, stone, meaty touches and a spicy, amaro-tinged undercurrent. Medium to full-bodied, it offers lots of spicy, luscious fruits in the mouth, with very fine, grainy tannins and great freshness, finishing long and spiced. 257 cases produced.- EB
