Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Maboroshi Vineyard opens with fragrant notes of violets and lavender over a core of red currants, blackberries and red plums plus a waft of underbrush. Medium to full-bodied with loads of plum and earth notions supported by firm, chewy tannins and a nice burst of freshness, it finishes with lovely purity. 123 cases produced.

Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2014 Pinot Noir Maboroshi Vineyard has an earthy nose of fallen leaves and mossy bark over a core of red currants and raspberry leaves, plus a hint of black pepper. Medium-bodied with a fine, firm texture of grainy tannins and lively acid to frame the youthful red berry and earth flavors, it finishes with great length and depth.

I tasted two Pinot Noirs from Deloach. The 2013 Pinot Noir Maboroshi Vineyard from the Sebastopol Hills is a light ruby colored and is made from Dijon clone 667 and 115. The wine has notes of sassafras and seems slightly whimsical, lacking concentration and density, but is pleasant. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.

The 2010 Pinot Noir Maboroshi Vineyard is one of the first vineyards from which the fog lifts in the early morning. Dark ruby-hued, with notes of root vegetables, earth and berry fruit, this soft, round, voluptuous Pinot is far more sexy in the mouth than I expected. Drink this attractive, lush Pinot Noir over the next 2-3 years. Tel. (707) 526-9111
