Tasting notes
One of the real surprises in this tasting, the 2013 Pinot Noir Estate Pomarium has really blossomed over the last year. The Ama possesses quite a bit more tannin and structure than the Ama, along with a darker flavor profile that tend towards the dark red/purplish end of the spectrum. Violet, lavender, mint, cloves and crushed rocks add further shades of dimension. This is an especially vertical, structured Pinot from the Peay family.

Dark red cherry, plum, spice, menthol and leather blossom in the 2013 Pinot Noir Estate Pomarium . One of the darker, broader Pinots in the range, the Pomarium is immediate, juicy and bold. The creamy, resonant finish is hugely appealing. I imagine the 2013 will drink well early given its flashy personality, but there is more than enough density to make me think the Pomarium will age nicely as well.
