Banshee Sonoma County Pinot Noir 2015

Sipping Fine Wine

Banshee Wines was founded by three friends Noah Dorrance, Baron Ziegler, and Steve Graf who shared a passion for wine and a lifelong dream of owning their own winery. Their first vintage of Pinot Noir, produced in 2009 was sold out in 3 months. Deep color with red berry fruit aromas and notes of sweet floral scents. On the palate red plum and cherry flavors with layers of spice. Smooth tannins balanced well with acidity, lingering ending with a citrus mineral character. Nice value. Tasting Sample.

Banshee’s 2015 Pinot Noir (Sonoma County) is gorgeous. Ripe dark cherry, plum, spice and leather are front and center. Drink this juicy, exuberant Sonoma Pinot over the next handful of years. (AG)

Sweet oak overpowering what was likely some nice fruit. Decent basic Pinot, and likely very good for those with a Cali pinot bent.

Very good. Paired with ... well this was a weird food night cause the kids had pizza delivered by the time I got home and I had planned organic beef burgers so this was paired with cheeseburger (American cheese, Dijon mustard, no bun) and two slices of pizza.
