Tasting notes
Bright ruby-red. Potent, mineral-laced red fruit and floral pastille scents pick up deeper cola and licorice qualities with aeration. Juicy, penetrating and pure, offering fresh raspberry and candied rose flavors and a suggestion of blood orange that sharpens the back half. Closes spicy and very long, with smooth tannins shaping the wine's sweet, juicy fruit. This suave Pinot was made with 30% whole clusters.

Aged 18 months in 22% new French oak, The 2013 Pinot Noir Rincon Vineyard is medium-bodied, juicy and lively, with bright acidity giving plenty of lift to its spring flowers, forest floor, mint and sweet Pinot Noir fruit. Made in a pretty, crystalline and elegant style, it's a gorgeous 2013 that will have a decade of longevity.
More whole bunch in this wine than the Stone Corral, as much as 30%. Relatively rich but with admirable freshness and life. (JR)
