Tasting Notes

WA94
From the Central Coast, the 2012 Pinot Noir Pisoni Vineyard sees 10% whole clusters as well as 75% new oak, the highest of any of these Pinots. Production is 496 cases. It boasts an ethereal, DRC-like perfume of forest floor, black raspberries, spring flowers, and red and black fruits, a medium to full-bodied, supple mouthfeel, good acidity and a broad, savory, lush personality. This vineyard was made famous by Jeff Pisoni and his sons, Gary and Mark. Drink it over the next decade.
WE94
Rich red cherries, raspberries, red currants, concentrated rose petals and hibiscus are cut with an edge of eucalyptus oil, chipped slate and purple sage on this stellar bottling from this producer's 25th vintage. Dark fruits of blueberry, blackberry and black cherry emerge across a deeply layered palate, which is boosted by violet and lavender florality.
