Tasting notes
Completely destemmed and aged 11 months in 58% new French oak, the 2012 Pinot Noir Doctor’s Vineyard has a gamey, darker fruit-driven style, with complete forest floor, dried herbs and earthy notes developing in the glass. Medium-bodied, supple and pure, with a pretty feel, it’s a delicious Pinot Noir that will evolve nicely through 2020.

Dried tobacco, savory herbs , leather, smoke and rosemary are some of the notes that inform the 2012 Pinot Noir Doctor's Vineyard. There is more than enough fruit to balance out the firm tannins. The pliant, expressive finish is quite appealing. I expect the 2012 will offer its best drinking over the next handful of years. This site was initially planted with Cabernet Franc and Merlot, but later grafted over with Pinot.
