Tasting notes
The 2013 Pinot Noir Legan Vineyard is bright, focused and absolutely impeccable in its balance. In this vintage, the Legan is all about subtlety and grace. Orange zest, sage, mint and sweet red cherries are all laced together in a Pinot that captures the essence of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The 2013 has really shut down post-bottling, but it begins to uncoil with time in the glass. These own-rooted Mt. Eden clone vines on sandy soils yield an especially perfumed Pinot underpinned with brilliant saline notes.

The 2013 Pinot Noir Legan Vineyard hits the palate with an exotic mélange of savory herbs, orange peel, red fruit and crushed flowers. The 2013 is a bit more savory, tannic and structured than the 2012, the result of a vintage with higher acidity and smaller berries. This is a fascinating comparison to the much more feminine 2012. I can't wait to taste it in bottle.
