Tasting notes
A longer term proposition that needs some bottle age (about 2-3 years maximum) is the 2014 Pinot Noir Clos Platt. Made from the Calera selection, this is an organically farmed vineyard, and Sussman has extracted plenty from it. Firm tannins, big, rich black cherry and blackcurrant fruit moving toward blacker berries with some crushed rock and forest floor are all present in this elegant, complex, attractive and full-bodied Pinot Noir. The moderate tannins suggest 2-3 years of cellaring will be beneficial, but the wine should be capable of lasting 15 or more years.

Succulent dark cherry, plum, cloves, menthol and new leather open up in the 2014 Pinot Noir Clos Platt. A vibrant, nuanced wine, the Platt stands out for its vertical structure, firm beams of supporting tannin and exceptional balance. Today, the Platt is dark, mysterious and full of personality. Interestingly, Platt and Terra Neuma are next to each other, and yet the wines are so vividly different.
