Tasting notes
Pale to medium ruby in color, the 2013 Pinot Noir Laurene opens with white pepper and granite notes over strawberry and rhubarb jam and warm cranberries with grated nutmeg. Light to medium-bodied, it gives red fruits in the mouth with layers of spice, framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and juicy acidity, finishing spicy.

Some rain at harvest, and this was picked pre- and post-. Light and polished. (JR)
Brilliant red. Vibrant mineral- and spice-accented aromas of fresh red berries and fresh rose, with a hint of incense building with air. Boasts excellent clarity and lift, with sappy strawberry and floral pastille flavors joined by a suave hint of spicecake. Finishes long and sweet, with supple tannins and emphatic floral persistence. Here's 2013 at its best, offering a suave blend of power, concentration and vivacity.
