Score 89/100 · Drink 2017-2021, Josh Raynolds, Oct 2015

Brilliant red. Lively, focused aromas of fresh red berries and pepper complicated by a subtle floral nuance. Silky strawberry and bitter cherry flavors are sharpened by juicy acidity, picking up a hint of anise with aeration. Clean, nervy, gently tannic Pinot with firm closing cut and lingering spiciness.

The 2012 Stewart Pinot Noir includes 25 percent whole-cluster fruit and spends 18 months in barrel (nine months sur lie). It has a feisty bouquet with vibrant kirsch and redcurrant scents interlaced with licorice and star anis. The palate is medium-bodied with fine saturated tannin: plenty of lush black and red fruit with a dense, velvet-smooth finish that caresses the mouth. Very seductive if just a little–obvious.
