Tasting notes
A more tightly coiled wine with more bouquet garni, roasted meat, blackcurrant and raspberry notes, is the 2012 Pinot Noir Sonoma Mountain (100% Calera clone). Rich, intense and ageworthy, it could turn out to be as brilliant as any of its siblings, but it requires several years of bottle age, and should drink well for 10-15 years thereafter.

This is a remarkable lineup of wines from some amazing vineyard sites. I tasted six Pinot Noir cuvées, every one of them stunning. Is Russell Bevan The Wine Advocate’s winemaker of the year? eRobertParker.com.December, 2014
