Score 90/100 · Drink 2015-2020, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Mar 2015

The 2012 Pinot Noir Estate Grown has a crisp redcurrant and raspberry-scented bouquet that is well defined and adopts a slight floral persona with time. The palate is medium-bodied with a salty entry, plenty of gentle, grippy black fruit and a structured, fresh finish. A bit brusque, but it'll make you want to take another sip.

Brilliant red. Spicy dark berry and cherry pit aromas are complemented by deeper-pitched notes of cola and licorice. Silky and expansive on the palate, offering sweet black raspberry and spicecake flavors and an exotic floral nuance. Shows excellent focus and snap on the finish, which is firmed by fine-grained, harmonious tannins. I like the blend of density and liveliness here.
