Gérard's 2015 Cote Rotie (tasted from a 375-milliliter bottle) is in a good place right now

Best from 2027 through 2042

this is a well-balanced and nicely bitter Pinot from the Markgräflerland in southern Baden

This should probably be drunk up sooner than later

Carmel, Mail Road Pinot Noir other_regions_australia Gérard's 2015 Cote Rotie (tastedBright cherry and raspberry fruits as well as candied violets and orange blossom notes emerge from the 2017 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills. Medium to full bodied, it has plenty of classic Sta. Rita Hills iodine and marine notes, juicy acidity, and a great finish. It's classy, elegant wine from this team to enjoy over the coming decade.
