(Flowers Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast) Group's #3 (my #1) - light garnet color; lovely, penetrating ripe strawberry and raspberry nose that changed, over 40 minutes or so, to a faint grilled pork nose; good plush fruit entry to tart red fruit palate, balanced with good grip; medium finish 91+ pts.

Rating late so muddy on the detail but this bottle was a very pleasant surprise. Still very young and not as heavy into the tertiary notes as I would have expected. Fruit still very much alive and overall very balanced.

Aging glacially, this full bodied, yet expressive Pinot epitomizes what Flowers did back then. Impeccably farmed and handled. Quite spicy and exotic, cola, plum and dark raspberry with hints of earth, truffles and slight meat overtones. Long finish, medium weight in mouth. Have 2 more, suggest 2018 thru 2025

Very similar to 01/2014 note, perhaps slightly softer/lighter expression of PN, but still in very good shape.

Given that this is 15 years old it is in remarkable shape for a pinot, wonderful example of sonoma coast with classic Flowers savory character and loads of strawberry and rhubarb fruit.
