2012 Furthermore Weir Vineyard Yorkville Highlands Pinot Noir

13.8% alc., pH 3.62, 117 cases, $50. DRC selection, Wädenswil 2A, and Rochioli selection. Harvest Brix 24.7º. Aged 15 months in French oak barrels, 25% of which were new Cadus. · Light reddish purple color in the glass. Scents of berry patch, strawberry and rainforest fern lead to an exotically flavored wine with mid weight black cherry and plum fruits at the core embellished with underlying notes of clove, anise and dark chocolate. Some noticeable dry and grippy tannins provide structure for aging and should ameliorate over time. This wine has admirable polish and swagger. Score: 91. Reviewed March 16, 2015
