Note di degustazione
Sweet, pliant and expressive, yet medium in body, Reuling's 2012 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) is very nicely balanced throughout. Hints of rose petal, mint, pine and crushed berries add nuance on the finely-knit finish, while an exotic orange peel note gives the flavors an extra touch of brightness.

Mark Aubert first made this estate famous with some extraordinary Chardonnays from this Sonoma Coast site. I am sad to say I did not see a Chardonnay at this tasting, but the dark ruby-colored 2012 Pinot Noir offers pleasant black cherry fruit along with whiffs of wood and spice. Straightforward and easygoing, it is best drunk over the next 3-4 years. Tel. (707) 820-1052
(made with 25% whole clusters): Brilliant ruby-red. Heady aromas of raspberry, cherry-cola and Asian spices, with subtle mineral and rose notes emerging with aeration. Offers sappy, incisive red fruit and blood orange flavors that become sweeter with air and pick up a hint of anise. Lively and precise on the finish, featuring dusty tannins and an echo of cola. An hour or so of aeration makes this pinot quite drinkable right now. (JR)
