The Hilt The Vanguard Pinot Noir 2014

$64.95

More plush, with gorgeous black raspberry, toasted spice, dried flowers and a touch of licorice, the 2014 Pinot Noir Vanguard hits the palate with gorgeous fruit, a rounded, supple texture and present, yet ripe tannin. It's much more approachable than the Old Guard, but I suspect it will evolve just as nicely. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

A perfectly decent Pinot. Good balance, bright fruit, nice acid. Not exceptional, but very approachable.

Very bright fruit. Needs some time. Tasted like a lot of good SB Pinot.

Nice and light, but again a bit pricey for a small vineyard variety - but still an excellent wine

Highly structured, will age extremely well but I wouldn't open for another 6-7 years at least.
