Tasting notes
A real sense of delicacy with lots of energy and depth. Notes of dried herbs, red fruit and light eucalyptus, with just a hint of cheese rind. Mouth-watering, extra-long finish, with pleasing tactile tannins. This wine will develop beautifully. (ECB)

Savory herbs, dried flowers, underbrush, mint and wild cherries all lift from the glass in the 2012 Pinot Noir Suacci Vineyard. Here the aromas and flavors are very much on the floral, savory side of things, enhanced by the inclusion of 50% whole clusters. Nicely layered and balanced, the 2012 should drink well upon release and over the next 3-4 years.
The 2012 Pinot Noir Suacci Vineyard reveals a light ruby color as well as a pretty bouquet of cherries, high acidity, and virtually no texture or depth. As I have said before, I just don't understand what the objective is with this sort of wine. www.zepaltaswines.com
