Tasting notes
Vivid red. Sexy, floral red and dark fruit aromas, along with notes of vanilla, woodsmoke and potpourri. Shows sweet black raspberry and cherry-cola on the palate, with a spine of tangy acidity adding lift and focus. Distinctly elegant and vivacious, with smooth, slow-building tannins giving shape to the persistent, sappy finish, with the berry note echoing.

The 2012 Pinot Noir Peters Vineyard is laced with dark red cherries, spices, crushed flowers and pine. The style is open, soft and approachable, with gorgeous layers of fruit that build as the wine opens up in the glass. A silky, perfumed finish rounds things out. The 40% whole clusters are already nicely integrated. This is one of the more ethereal Pinots in the range. The 2012 was bottled in January 2014.
