Pale to medium ruby in color, the 2015 Pinot Noir Jerome Reserve opens with a fair amount of baking spice-nutmeg, clove, cinnamon-over a core of crushed red cherries and baked cranberries with earthy nuances. Light to medium-bodied, it has good concentration of earth-laced red fruits but they're obscured by all that baking spice. It has soft, grainy tannins and just enough acidity to carry the finish. I don't think this has the substance to soak up all that new oak character. 981 six-pack cases produced.
