Private Reserve Pinot Noir Reviews

Score: 88 | April 13, 2015 | Burghound

This is the ripest wine of the three with notes of plum, dark raspberry, tea and discreet spice nuances. There is also more volume and mid-palate concentration to the medium-bodied flavors that possess an appealingly seductive mouth feel, all wrapped in a dusty, mouth coating and ever-somildly warm finish. I like the complexity but some may find the level of warmth to be borderline. Note that this too could easily be enjoyed now even though it should reward a few years of bottle age.

The 2012 Pinot Noir Private Reserve is a limited production cuvée of 500 cases. It reveals a deep plum/ruby color, sweet fruit, and the most expansive, intense palate impression of these Pinots. Abundant notes of black cherries, forest floor and earth are present in this medium to full-bodied, beautifully pure, seductive Pinot Noir. The star of this Pinot trilogy, it should drink well for 5-6 years.
