Tasting notes
The 2014 Pinot Noir Rosemary's Vineyard is pale to medium ruby. The nose opens with nutmeg, clove and pipe tobacco over dried currants, raisin cake, sweet spices and loads of red berries nuances plus notes of potpourri and dried flowers. Light to medium-bodied, it’s silky, spicy and intense, with a grainy frame and good freshness, finishing long and broody. This is a touch disjointed at the moment—it may be in an awkward phase, so give it another couple of years before you pop the corks.

Brilliant ruby-red. A drop-dead, highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red berries, incense, candied flowers and star anise, accompanied by a smoky mineral overlay. Sweet, animated and precise on the palate, offering intense raspberry, cherry and spicecake flavors given lift and spine by juicy acidity. Powerful yet lithe, displaying outstanding finishing energy and silky, even tannins that build steadily and in harmony with the vibrant fruit.
The 2014 Pinot Noir Rosemary's Vineyard is a richer, layered effort that has a touch more oomph than the Rincon release. Passion fruits, raspberries, violets and spice all emerge from this medium to full-bodied, rich and layered Pinot Noir that has fine tannin, beautiful purity and an already hard to resist style. Aged 16 months in 35% new French oak, drink it anytime through 2024. www.robertparker.com, Aug 2014
