Grown on the slopes of Santa Lucia Highlands, this wine has a dense but delicate richness and complexity. The clone, originally selected from Burgundy's Grand Cru, is showcased with its concentrated perfume and distinct varietal expression. The 2012 vintage of Pinot Noir in Sonoma was nearly perfect and this wine is no exception. The aromas of ripe plum, cherry and blackberry are intense. A well- focused wine with a graceful, lingering finish--repeating the blackberry at the end.
