PINOT NOIR: THE WINE ADVOCATE. 88 POINTS. ROBERT M. PARKER, JR. DEC 30, 2014 – 2013 Vintage

12/30/2014

The 2013 Pinot Noir is composed of 64% Sonoma fruit with the balance from Monterey, mostly all Dijon clones. It exhibits a dark ruby color as well as savory cherry, wild strawberry and herbal notes with some earth in the background. The wine is medium-bodied, has a nice textural plushness (14.5% natural alcohol) and a heady finish. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.
